Hi all, very beginner here. I am trying to release my app for testing on Android, but I have this warning: “Your app uses the android.permission.ACTIVITY\_RECOGNITION permission and must meet [Health apps policy requirements](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/13996823). If you don’t have any health features in your app, remove this permission from your app’s manifest.” My app is not a health app - it is a music festival app, so I am not sure what part of the app would have triggered that permission. The Google Play Store is saying I should remove that permission, but I am not seeing how to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated! ---

Oh yeah, there is no option for that. I can only choose various health app features. I am not sure how to remove the permission from my app’s manifest. ---

I think so that you should post on Play Console Community, there are Very Responsive (if you choose good tags) ---

Hi, I encountered the same issue with my app. Did you find a solution? Thanks in advance. ---

I too has encountered the same problem, please thunkable team should help us figure out what component that generates such permission so that we can modify it. Mine is just an ecommerce app that doesn’t have anything to do with health ---

@ltp5ddnm4 @supremefaptechjzgbl A fix for this was released a while ago. Can you both republish and let us know if the permission still exists in your newly published projects? ---

Thanks for quick response. If I got you well, you mean we should just generate a new ABB without any modification and republish in play store? ---

Yes, exactly. When a fix like this comes out where we adjust or fix something for a published app like a permission, you will always have to create a new AAB file and republish. ---

I republished, and the warning disappeared. Thank you for your quick response.
