Violation Request Install Packages Permission: Permission use is not directly related to your app&#0-CodePudding

The

How do I effectively search through the plugins and project to find which one is adding android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES.

I also found

public static final String REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES = "android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES";

in ~/Library/Android/sdk/platforms/android-32/android.jar!/android/Manifest.class

CodePudding user response：

Here is what I found,

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

adds the permission into the manifest-merger-release-report.txt

So yes it is removed from the App, but the report says the REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission is in the App and that is enough to get rejected by Google Play store. Also any releases in Open testing, Closed testing, or Internal testing will that have this in the manifest-merger-release-report.txt will cause the release to get rejected.
