Hi Developers at zion1000,

I have only activitystarter and phonecaller to make calls out and send email to designated email address.

Thanks for contacting the Google Play team about your app RapecLife, io.kodular.amsogodded2.RapecLive.
“Publishing Status”) Publishing status: Rejected
After review, your app has been rejected and wasn’t published due to a policy violation. If you submitted an update, the previous version of your app is still available on Google Play.
Issue: Violation of Permissions policy
After reviewing your app, we found that it doesn’t qualify to use the requested permissions for the following reason(s):

  • Requested permissions do not match core functionality of the app
    You declared Default Phone handler (and any other core functionality usage while default handler) as the core functionality of your app. However, after review, we found that your app does not match the declared use case(s). Learn more about [permitted uses]

Eligibility Issue
Sensitive permission
Your app does not qualify for use of the requested permissions. Permission requests should make sense to users. You may only request permissions that are necessary to implement critical current features or services in your application. You may not use permissions that give access to user or device data for undisclosed, unimplemented, or disallowed

You can use activity starter to make phone call instead of using the Phone Call component

Thank you so much, you just solved a big headache for me. Thank you again. Your solution worked as the privacy issue did not come up after the change. App waiting for approval. Bless you.
