I too cannot find the option mentioned in step 4 as of today.
I removed permissions like this:
Even if your app's
AndroidManifest.xml
does not use these permissions, some of the libraries you include can use these permissions.Then I created a new release in
Internal Test Track
and generated a new release apk with removed permissions and uploaded this apk to the newly created release. Permission declaration form was there from the old apk and I just checked an arbitrary option just to be able to save the form. After saving the form I review and rollout the release.I repeated the same steps with the same apk with removed permissions for
Alpha
andBeta
test tracks and rollout releases for both.In the last track (Beta), the permission declaration form was not there.
