QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES rejection by google play

Question

My app is getting rejected by the goggle play store. They say I am not compliant because of the use of QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES.

That permission is not in my manifest. I do not need it in my manifest. I do not want it in my manifest.

How do I fix this? I tried using the tools:node="remove" in permissions but to no avail. Am I missing something?

(Unable to insert copy of my manifest file)

I got this from gemini, and I resubmitted the app. Waiting on an update.

Check the merged manifest file in the build/outputs/logs/manifest-merger-debug-report.txt file

I found an IMPLIED library from benchmarks. So removed this from my gradle (NOT manifest) file

implementation(libs.androidx.benchmark.macro)

Now I am waiting on an answer from goggle.

It worked, the app is now on the play store.

Note that the documentation recommends putting Macrobenchmark in a separate module from anything that you might be publishing to the Play Store or elsewhere.
