Can't deploy to Google Play: includes permission.AD_ID permission but your app doesn't use advertising ID

[octobocto]

Describe the bug

I can't deploy my app to Google Play because: Invalid request - This release includes the com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID permission but your declaration on Play Console says your app doesn't use advertising ID. You must update your advertising ID declaration.

I don't use advertising. I care about my users privacy. How can I work around this?

Steps to reproduce

1. Create app on Google Play without an advertising ID
2. Try to deploy.
3. Ouch.

Expected behavior

The AD_ID should be opt-outable.
