Strange, and it doesn't provide any other information.

Darn, I'm not really sure what would be causing this then.

Click the "Learn more" and see.

It's something to do with the READ_CALL_LOG permission.

Interesting, I wonder why it only started complaining about that now. READ_CALL_LOG has been around since version 1.40.

I hate this, but I think we might just need to tell people to ignore the warning. I don't plan on making a separate build of BCR with this functionality removed.

Versions below v1.63 don't get flagged by Play Protect so I'm kinda doubting that specific permission is the reason here. Tried v1.61 & v1.62, they both install fine and without that warning.

Set Play Protect to disable "Improve harmful app detection", then disable Play Protect and enable it again.
