.net MAUI asks for SMS.RECEIVE forcibly permission on SMS permission

Question

Hello,

I'm moving my application that I wrote on a different platform to .NET MAUI and while installing this application, SEND_SMS permission was obtained and my application was published.

But I finished my application and in the background I added SMS.SEND to AndroidManifest on android, but when I try to send SMS it asks me to add android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS permission to AndroidManifest.

But my app is not doing any reading.

My app update was denied by PLAY STORE because it requested android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS as an additional permission.

What should I do so that it doesn't ask for the RECEIVE_SMS permission?

My code is like this:

   public void sendSMS(String phoneNumber, String message)
    {
        // Get the SMS manager
        SmsManager smsManager = SmsManager.Default;
        // Split text message content (SMS length limit)
        IList<string> divideContents = smsManager.DivideMessage(message);
        foreach (string text in divideContents)
        {
            smsManager.SendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null, text, null, null);
        }
    }
