Issue found: Permission use is not directly related to your app’s core purpose.
We found that your app is not compliant with how REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission is allowed to be used. Specifically, the use of the permission is not directly related to the core purpose of the app.

I’m just using these permission in my AndroidManiFest file

`<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>`
`<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />`
`<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Moreover, not using/define any package named REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES in pubspec.yaml, even didn’t found that word REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES in my project

Trying to resolve this error and upload my app on play store

    Error resolved. I was using the open_file which requires the REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES and that was the reason of rejection from the play store. To resolve this I used open_filex instead of open_file because the open_filex package is fork of open_file and its basically develop to resolve the issue of open_file package. Moreover, I make some changes in AndroidManifest.xml file to remove this REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission, mentioned below:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES" tools:node="remove"/>

    for the above line you also have to define "tools" attribute in the open tag of AndroidManifest.xml

    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.xxxx.xxxxxxx" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

    NOTE: Make sure that your app doesn't used the package which require REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission because we remove this permission through the above code

    try this in your manifest

    <uses-permission
    android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES"
    tools:node="remove" />
