I have an Ionic framework Android app that used a plugin(file opener 2) that included the Request_Install_Packages permission in the manifest file for our app builds. First I manually removed the permission post ionic syncronization, google rejected the release for the same reason. The permission did not show in the google play console list of permissions for this build.
Second I completely replaced the file opener plugin with a plugin that doesn't request this permission at all. I submitted again and was rejected again. Does anyone have a suggestion because google is giving zero information on the rejections?

they fixed it here: https://github.com/pwlin/cordova-plugin-file-opener2/issues/329
if it still happens, so search for this permission at your plugin folder to see which plugin uses it.

Do you have other distribution tracks such as internal test, closed test or open test? If yes, try to update the versions of all tracks, I was having this problem too and it was resolved after removing this permission on all tracks.
