Roger that. Thanks for your time, I appreciate you looking into this for me.
Okay, I hope we can close this topic. Can you all please try to be %100 honest with me on this one?
Should I really try to use Android Studio, or the APKtool to decompile it and remove the RECEIVE_SMS permission request from the manifest?
If there's currently no other way to do it, I guess I must try to do it on my own, and I'll probably be back here bothering you with this one.
If you can wait for the August update release, a fix is being applied which should resolve your issue.
