I’m trying to publish my React native application app to the Google Play Store, but when adding my .apk as first version, it tells me I’m asking for permissions requiring confidentiality rules, even though I never ask for those, and when installing the .apk directly on my phone, it nevers asks for any permission.

enter image description here

The error.

For non-french-speaking fellows, it’s telling me the importation has failed because my apk uses permissions that require conficentiality rules (android.permissions.CAMERA, android.permissions.RECORD_AUDIO …)

  1. Chosen as BEST ANSWER

    My question has been answered on the Expo Forum.

    In your app.json :

    ...
    "android": {
        ...,
        "permissions": []
    },
    ...
    

  2. Just spent 3 damn hours on this crap.

    If they ask you for permissions make sure you have the correct permissions in your

    src/app/main/AndroidManifest.xml

    for a full list of permission check React-native Android permission

        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    

    after you have done that (this is the part that took me 3 hours) :

    1. go to your google play store
    2. scroll down to the bottom
    3. look at the left side for a like app content, click on that
    4. fill in your Privacy policy info (they want a link for that)
    5. Upload your app again
    6. ENJOY!!!!
