xamarin.android app rejected from play store due to Violation of Permissions policy

In my xamarin.forms android application, I am using xamarin.essentials PhoneDialer to make call from app. I added two permissions in manifest.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />

Everything works. But where I got problems is when I try to upload the app to play store.My app get rejected.

I got this message from play store

Issue: Violation of Permissions policy After reviewing your app, we found that it doesn’t qualify to use the requested permissions for the following reason(s): You declared {Default Phone handler (and any other core functionality usage while default handler)} as the core functionality of your app. However, after review, we found that your app does not match the declared use case(s). Learn more about permitted uses and exceptions. Please either:

Make changes to your app so that it meets the requirements of the declared core functionality or, Select a use case that matches your app’s functionality

Default handler capability for {Default Phone handler (and any other core functionality usage while default handler)} was listed on your declaration form, but your app does not appear to have default handler capability. Please submit a revised Permissions Declaration Form and/or add default handler capability to your app.

When I uploaded the APK, play console asked a Permissions Declaration Form and I selected DEFAULT PHONE HANDlER checkbox. In my app I only make call through phones dialer. What will be the solution to this? How can I make the app to be accepted by play store? Any help is appreicated.

I know this is bit late. But for anyone who may have this issue in future.

We had exactly the same issues, what we did was remove every drafts, replace every track (alpha, beta and production etc) where the non-compliant version is active.

Also ensure other information like Privacy Policy links etc are accurate in Store Listing.
