We would like to inform you that Google has updated their Developer Policy to make apps published with Google Play compliant with user Privacy, Security, and Deception policy and now restricts the use of high risk or sensitive permissions, including the SMS or Call Log permission groups.

Please review these permissions in your Appery.io project(s) on the App Settings page (Project->App Settings->Android Permissions).

If such permissions are not used by your application but are enabled, please disable them. Once done, upload an updated app version to Google Play to ensure it will be allowed by Google.

If your application requests the use of such permissions, you will be required to submit the Permissions Declaration Form to receive approval from Google Play. Once your Permission Declaration is reviewed and your app is approved for policy compliance to the Google Play Developer Distribution Agreement, your application will be published.

Note:

Completing the form is required even if the application does not use such permissions, so please select any items there and add a comment like: “I’ve selected one just to submit a form, the app doesn’t require that feature”.
