Extra Permissions!?

Hi,

I was uploading the app to Play Store and it prompted me that (among others) the following permissions are also being used by the app:

  • ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION
  • READ_CONTACTS
  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
  • READ_INTERNAL_STORAGE
  • WRITE_CALENDAR
  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

I want to remove these permissions specially ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION and READ_CONTACTS because my app does NOT use features related to these at all!

Play Store has a new policy for app developers to declare via a Video how background location is being used. Unless this is resolved I won’t be able to publish my app to Play Store.

Additionally, apps/developers who use these permissions without any usage of these, are not respected by end users and Play Store. Please help.
