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. ---
