Google Play Dev account almost suspended due permissions requested that shouldn't have been.

Yeah, it seems to be ok now.

Awesome. By the way, those strings i've mentioned previously that i've found after disassembling on Android Studio:

FingerprintManagerCompat.smali value = "android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT"

zzaqo.smali const-string v2, "android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" const-string v2, "android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"

zzaiw.smali const-string v2, "android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" const-string v2, "android.permission.CAMERA"

zzmw.smali const-string v1, "android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"

WorkSourceUtil.smali const-string v2, "android.permission.UPDATE_DEVICE_STATS"

Only occur when the export template is compiled with the admob plugin. I've been unable to pin down what imported library causes this however.

Hopefully this won't trigger anything else and that the problem is indeed solely the placeholders in the XML manifest file.

Hello it's been 3 years since this issue opened :) today i'm dealing with the same problem again. The versions I tried are godot 3.2.3 and godot 3.3. Google says it will unpublish my game because I ask for location permission. But I don't want location permissions anywhere. I have been dealing with this issue for 4 days, but there is no solution. I need detailed information on how to fix it. Can you help me please.

Did you check the export settings for Android? And make sure none are selected. Also, I have been a bunch of Godot games on Android that didn't ask for permissions, so there must be some way to publish.

Yes i am checking I am not choosing from the list of permissions in the export window. But when I send the apk to google I get this error

While this post is several years old, it may be that the app has placeholder permissions and that is causing it to have the error on Google.

I might suggest seeing if you can print all of the permissions in the APK file to see if there are placeholders or something similar, as it may be that is what Google is detecting. This StackOverflow post seems to show how to list the permissions that an APK requests.
