I have a problem with Android 10. I have I'm getting this error when the user tries to give the Read Phone state permission. I know , that now Google restrict using the device id. Also , I have read all documentation regarding these changes, and my questions are other.
Firstly, let me describe how and for what I used the device id.
In the manifest.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
And in the Java code.
public String getDeviceId(boolean encrypt) {
@SuppressLint("HardwareIds") String deviceId = android.provider.Settings.Secure.getString(activity.getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
String encryptedDeviceId = "";
if (encrypt) {
try {
encryptedDeviceId = MCrypt.bytesToHex(MCrypt.$().encrypt(deviceId));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return encryptedDeviceId;
}
Now , I know that I can't get the device id. Here are my questions.
1.Event If I remove the uses_permission row in manifest and remove the java code, my app continues to want the Phone State permission. Why? Here is my whole manifest.

- I used the device Id for the restoring the game progress before, so that means , that I have device id's in my DB and use them , if user reinstall the game. Now , if the previous problem will be resolved, how can I avoid loosing my users progress? I mean if I will get another id for user , then it will no longer the same as in DB.
Thanks guys.
=====EDIT=====
Here is screenshot from my Merged Manifest file, and I can't either navigate or remove it.
======EDIT 2======
I found it, some of my libs have minSDKversion < 4, and this permission added automatically.
