ISSUE - Advertising id permission is not inlcuded in this build

The issue while publishing the app to any track, I was getting error that AdvertisingId permissino is not included in this build. The issue is described better here -

The solution of this error is that it was complaining on behalf of older build in other tracks which didn’t have this permission in their manifest.json file. I did add the permission in current build but didn’t have in other testing tracks i.e, open testing and internal testing tracks. So releasing the same build to all tracks did fix this warning instantly.

We need to send for review for google after you submit an AAB/APK?

LEARNING OF THE BAD DAY Super learning about adding tester email to “Internal Testing”

Source: StackOverflow

It takes 3-4 hours or may be 1-2 days so that any new tester email added to tester-email-list to take into effect (before that it will show white screen when you try to browse the internal testing playstore link).
