On this issue, I personally feel that Google is a bit perverted.
It roughly means: if you want to adapt to Android 13, you must increase the targetSdkVersion to 33, which is normal; you must add the com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID permission acquisition, OK, although I don’t know my APP Why do I have to add this if there is no advertisement? If you want to add it, just add it! ! ! But what's weird is that when submitting a new version for review, Google's background asks you why you want to obtain this permission. It's like 100,000 mud horses galloping! ! !

"Why does your app need an Advertising ID?"
The ignorant emoticon with the question mark appeared here
As for me, I barely found out at https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/6048248 why Google wanted me to add an AD_ID, and asked me to tell Google why I wanted to add this AD_ID. . . Let's start galloping. . .
The reason is: "for basic non-advertising use cases such as analytics and fraud prevention", well! That's it, the review passed.
