I sent a new apk to the Google Play Store to upgrade to another app, however, on the console, in the required permissions section I see that the android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS permission is required in this release and that old users do not may update but re-install. However, this permission is not in the manifest.
Does anyone know what might be releasing this permission?
In manifest I have the following permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="*******.fileprovider.READ" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
