Why am I getting SMS and CALL_LOG warning in Google Play console, when my app DOESNT use anything even remotely close to these permissions?

My app is just a simple calendar alarm app, and uses this permissions:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALENDAR">

Yet I get this warning:

enter image description here

But I dont use any of these permissions as you can see above. Also, two more proofs:

  • I only use default google support libraries, and even when I unpack final apk file, and inspect manifest manually, there are none other permission

  • Also when I install app on phone, and check on phone => apps =>
    permissions, there are none permissions except those I listed.

It simply must be a bug or something, why I get this warning?

What can I do? I filled the form couple days ago, but google didnt even reply me...

EDIT: Even more weird is, displaying the warning is totally random. One day I saw warning, then I refresh page and it disappears. Then I could not see it a week, and then suddenly today I see it again. When I refresh page it always disappear, but later it shows again. Totally random.

Check for any third-party library you are using they have this permission(You can check in the merged manifest).if not then don't worry about the warning.
