I am getting the following error when i try to unpublish my app from play store:
Your app has an apk with version code 1427982169 that requests the following permission(s): android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE. Apps using these permissions in an APK are required to have a privacy policy set.
Issue: App can only be published/unpublished if the form has no errors. The app has error as i have no privacy policy for the app which was something google play did not inform me while uploading the app few years ago. I am unable to submit privacy policy and also unable to remove my app as the form error wont go until i submit privacy policy. I just want to remove my app. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You.
To add your privacy policy, uncheck Not submitting a privacy policy URL at this time, then add your privacy policy link. Finally, unpublish the app.
If you need more help, I think it's a good idea to contact Google play developer support
