Cannot publish my app updates to Google Play Store

[grant.mccallum]

Hi all,

After successfully publishing my app on Google Play Store, I tried to release an update this week so I downloaded the a .AAB file and uploaded this to the Google Play Console. When I try to move the update from draft and into review, I receive the following error message:

"This release includes the com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID permission but your declaration on Play Console says your app doesn’t use advertising ID.

You must update your advertising ID declaration."

My app does not use any adverts. Is this an update to the way thunkable creates App Bundles?

It seems I cannot progress with my update until this is resolved. All advice appreciated.

Here’s the error message:

And here’s what I get when I click “update declaration”:

Hello @grant.mccallum
You will need to select yes.
And then Select all that apply: App functionality, Analytics

If you use the AdMob component(s), you need to select Advertising or marketing

Thanks Ioannis - that worked beautifully. Odd that this wasn’t an issue with the main release and has only become an issue since I updated it.
