Cannot upload new version of removed app on Google Play Store


Our app has been removed from Play Store due to policy violation. We have removed all features related to SMS & Call from app and removed permissions from manifest file as well. Now we are unable to create a release on any of the tracks (alpha, beta or production) without selecting core functionality. Every time we try to create new release, it prompts to select any core functionality. But now we do not have any core functionality. Even if we select any 1 and publish, it's getting rejected. Please help how we can create a release without selecting any of the core functionality.


Solution

  • You have to delete all previous versions that might have these permissions, including any beta releases. After deleting them, try releasing the new version again. This might help resolve the issue. Thank you.
