Thunkable APK Problems (Build Error, Unnecessary Permissions, Transmitting Android Advertising ID)

Thank you @matt_conroy! I’ve seen this topic and understand the situation.
I was just wondering if there’s a workaround, because it’s really inconvenient for all my potential users who are adolescents and are interested in my app.

For instance, this post by @wrybread (Remove unnecessary permissions? - #4 by wrybread) says that the solution (workaround, actually) is to manually remove these permissions and/or SDKs in the manifest.xml file. This is what I tried to do as I mentioned in my topic, using both Android Studio AND Apktool, but nothing worked.
