Hello @dora_paz & @bodymindpower

I discussed with the huawei team, and the problem detected :

"

• App contain SMS monitoring, SMS interception code, high risk
• The issue is with the code in the app, it sending and intercepting SMS without permission
• HQ team ask to delete this code.
  "

I really need to publish my company’s app as soon as possible on the Huawei AppGallery, please help me find a solution, If you have any solution or a tool to try to remove this permission I am interested

PS: i check and remove all things related with phone calls or texting components, also i remove useless permission from the AndroidManifest.xml

I am not sure but this can be caused by an extension. Just remove the possible extension and try again. Try extensions about animations.

smali code of those class a

When we decompile apk there are hundreds of files in smali directories. Can you give a specific file name or directory for editing.

I tried to search “sms” word in all smali files. These are the files including sms word.

There are some codes including sms but I dont know removing them from files is secure or not. I dont know whether they are necessary or not for apk to work properly.
