On trying to upload my build to dev console I Was greeted with that error

A manifest file in one of your active artifacts doesn't include the com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID permission.

This happened to me last year and I found the fix for this, to include
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID" tools:node="remove"/> and this worked perfectly well and was fine for the past couple of releases. I have not changed anything in my manifest and I’ve uploaded and I am getting this error again.

Has anyone experienced this issue reoccuring. I check the upload on dev console and I can see that there is instance of that permission
