REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES issue detected by google even though we don't have one

App build with ActionScript3/Harman SDK but we don't even have REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES declared in our xml.

Also, I already checked the APK via Android Studio, the AndroidManifest doesn't contain also REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES.

Any fix or advice for this? Thank you.

We checked our SDKs/ANE DISTRIQT and none of them that we are using is using the REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES.

Solution

  • Check all of the available APKs for your application.

    Google will check all available versions of your application so even if your update doesn't have the permission an older build may have. When updating you may have an older version available for different users.

    Go through and disable or remove all older versions as part of the update have this permission before releasing.
