Help with my simple app permissions issues on play store

When i select none of the permissions, I get two of these messages
Your changes couldn’t be saved

Choose at least one core functionality

Which core functionalities are listed there?


Also what is your app about? What does your app do? What is core functionality of your app?

My app is for a tution class, it is used to create notes,notices,web meetings, schedule, etc

I already had published an app before publishing this one on my another account,to find out what the mistake in this app is I uploaded this apk as an release in my second account, and I found out that it reads android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE as playstore stated so what should i do now?

maybe the google maps component requires this permission?

Google map component you are using may be the problem but I am not sure.
I am telling this because according to Kodular docs google map component uses the permission android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and When I googled about the permission I got this

According to Google if you are using/requesting any of the location permission, then you should have a valid justification about the purpose of its usage as this permission are related to privacy of the users

OK but the permission Google says

it’s because of device utilities component that your app asks READ_PHONE_STATE permission

Ohh but I need it to copy text on clipboard can activity starter replace it and if yes then please tell me how

Use taifun’s extension

Will it not ask for the permission?

No it doesn’t asks for any permission

Then I think kodular should have an improvement like the taifun’s extension

It will break other methods.

I didn’t get you, like are you talking about the extension or the change which I told

Was about to say that. Taifun’s extension only has clipboard functions, while device utilities has many more functions which may require the permission

this one.
Since there are other methods too which need that permission so Kodular can’t do that.

Hi, when I create a new application to publish my app it shows I have to select atleast one permission, but when I relase the same app as an update in my other published app it doesn’t require any permission, why does this happen?
