Why did my app update get rejected from Google Play?

I received the following rejection reason.

Thanks for contacting the Google Play team about your app Company App name, com.company.app. We reviewed your app and found that it does not qualify for use of the requested permissions.

The declared functionality Select OEM Services is determined to be unnecessary or not aligned with the core functionality of your app.

What permission are they referring to ?

Below are the permissions I'm requesting.

com.anddoes.launcher.permission.UPDATE_COUNT, com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE, com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE, com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES, com.htc.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS, com.htc.launcher.permission.UPDATE_SHORTCUT, com.majeur.launcher.permission.UPDATE_BADGE, com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.READ, com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE, com.sonyericsson.home.permission.BROADCAST_BADGE android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE, android.permission.AUDIO_INPUT_FLAG_FAST, android.permission.BLUETOOTH, android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN, android.permission.BROADCAST_STICKY, android.permission.CAMERA, android.permission.FLASHLIGHT, android.permission.INTERNET, android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS, android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, android.permission.READ_LOGS, android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE, android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO, android.permission.USE_SIP, android.permission.VIBRATE, android.permission.WAKE_LOCK, android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS

Most likely culprit is this one: android.permission.READ_LOGS

Reason is because of:

Allows an application to read the low-level system log files.

Not for use by third-party applications, because Log entries can contain the user's private information.

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#READ_LOGS

It's not allowed for third-party apps.
