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](https://community.thunkable.com/t/remove-unnecessary-permissions/226188/4)) 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. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.thunkable.com/t/thunkable-apk-problems-build-error-unnecessary-permissions-transmitting-android-advertising-id/2467666)._
