Recently I tried to publish an app in Google Play Store, but I am receiving the following error and my app is getting rejected every time.

enter image description here

I have removed all the SMS related permissions only basic permissions required are included in the app, and I have used some 3rd party libraries like PayPal, Payumoney. Please find the reference link below for more information regarding the updated Google Policy:

  • "I have removed all the SMS related permissions only basic permissions required are included in the app" -- make sure that you are checking your *merged* manifest, such as via the "Manifest Merger" tab in the manifest editor in Android Studio. – CommonsWare Jan 29 '19 at 17:11
  • You need to understand which library is importing this permission. You can use `Merged Manifest` as described here https://stackoverflow.com/a/42023614/2910520 – MatPag Jan 29 '19 at 17:11

If you cannot disable adding this permission by a dependency you can explicitly remove it from merged manifest like this:

<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"
tools:node="remove" />
