title: Violation of the Permissions policy - expo react native app removed from play console
body: <p>A change of policy has been made at google play console and I started getting these weird email notifying me that my app was removed - </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>"We only allow apps to access Call Log or SMS data for permitted uses
    and only to enable the app’s core functionality."</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Thing is that I have any of these permission requests neither in my app.json nor I have any library requesting such a thing (I pretty sure). 
  Under permission in my <code>app.json</code> I tried adding <code>"ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"</code> instead of leaving that empty, because I read somewhere that it prevents expo from requesting default (<code>READ_SMS</code>) permissions, but it didn't work.</p>
  
  <p>Also, I didn't see anywhere where it says that the lib react-native-phone-call requests either of these above permissions.</p>
