''Uninstall harmful app' notification for my own app
I am developing an app with Kotlin on Android.
The app is not published to Google Play yet.
As it is getting close to being finished, I am trying it on various devices.
I have developed it with minSdk 28, however I got a hold of an API level 27 device so I changed my build.gradle to 27 for minSdk and deployed my app.
After I used my app for a bit, I got a 'uninstall harmful app' notification from Google Protect.
However, when I tapped on it, there were no details and 'No threats detected'. I tapped Scan now and my app appeared in the list of recently scanned apps and no more threats were reported.
I have been debugging on API 30 device and have never seen anything like this there.
Is there any way to find out why Google Play Protect flagged my app before I submit it to review?
Update
My app's features and permissions:
<!-- Features -->
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.camera.any"
android:required="true" />
<!-- Permissions -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
android:maxSdkVersion="28" />
