we have an App and developer added this many permissions inside the manifest file.The App is available in play-store, but last time when we updated the App, google play rejected the update saying our app is trying unauthorized access of services.What are we doing wrong here? we didn't changed anything in the update (just fixed few errors). Also i have seen other app doing same purpose in the play store but it have only 3 permissions instead of all of the below.Are these permissions mandatory? can we skip so that we can update our app successfully? what are we missing?
