Android app downloading NULL data from remote mysql db

I'm new this Android world, and I'm facing a very peculiar issue these days and hence wanted to share with you. Please guide me if you know the solution.
I've installed and configured wampserver (mysql, php, apache) in remote Azure VM and I've opened all the ports for access. Please see the pics for Inbound and Outbound access.
Now the issue is: When I installed app in mobile (debug mode) through android studio and data cable, then it can both insert and fetch/download data from remote mysql db (through all php api scripts)… that means no issues in my app, php code, azure vm setup and access to it.
But when I published the same app in playstore and downloaded from there and installed in my same mobile, then its not able to fetch data, however it can insert data only into same mysql db. While fetching all php-apis are returning only null values, because of which all my recycler views are showing in mobile but with no data.
Anything should I take care in permission or in manifest file or where im missing ? please let me know if you know the answer. Thank you very much all in advance.
FYI, manifest file:

My Android Application is getting rejected from PlayStore

I am uploading my application in the Android PlayStore and it is getting rejected because of SMS permission in it, but in my Manifest.xml file, there is no SMS permission added.
After having a conversation with the Google team they said that there is permission available of SMS and I am unable to find it.
Below is the screenshot provided by the Google Team and it has SMS permission in there.
My Manifest file looks like this
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
package="com.msonline.android">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

tools:ignore="AllowBackup,GoogleAppIndexingWarning"
tools:replace="android:allowBackup,android:icon,android:label,android:theme">

</application>
</manifest>
Any Help is appreciable thanks in Advance.

Third party libraries also contribute to your permission tree. In your case the below library that you are using is having RECEIVE_SMS declared in manifest.
com.payumoney.sdkui:plug-n-play:1.0.0
You can check the sdk manifest from sdk's git repo using below this link.
There is RECEIVE_SMS defined in manifest.
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
What you can try to do is to remove this permission, first declare in your manifest tools:node="remove" then add
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" tools:node="remove" />
The final merged manifest will not have RECEIVE_SMS

Surely you are using a third party library that add this permission.
What you can try to do is to remove this permission, first declare in your manifest tools:node="remove" then add
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" tools:node="remove" />
The final merged manifest will not have RECEIVE_SMS

Cannot resolve GoogleMap error Occurred in Android

I want to use GoogleMap in my project, I've used these codes before and it works find but now it doesn't work and show the the error that it cannot resolve googleMap

public class MapViewDialog {
Activity act;
String url;
private GoogleMap googleMap;
and other codes in my activity either ;
MapView mMapView = (MapView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.mapView);

Google Play Console - Android app suported by 0 devices

I'm having trouble setting up my android app in Google Play Console.
After uploading the apk I see "Supported Android devices - 0 devices".
Here is the Manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Here is the gradle setup
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
defaultConfig {
applicationId "xxxxxxxxxx"
minSdkVersion 23

}

}
}
}
dependencies {

}
And this is what I get in Google Play Console
The app was already tested on a few devices.
I see this is a common problem but most of the questions I've found are related to the permission for camera.
What I'm doing wrong?

The issue was related commons.io package and it had to be changed to:
compile 'commons-io:commons-io:2.4'
