[Oculus Go] "This app uses the speech API, which is not supported on this device"

Hi,
I'm trying to upload the alpha version of my application on the oculus build dashboard, but I keep getting this message from the test status result: "This app uses the speech API, which is not supported on this device.".
I'm using Unity 2018.1.0f2 with all the oculus integration assets updated. I did some research and tried re-generating the AndroidManifest.xml with the tools->oculus feature, then added this line manually
<uses-feature
    android:name="android.hardware.microphone"
    android:required="false" />
inside the manifest template in Assets\Plugins\Android.
After the build I inspected the apk and noticed that the merged manifest file has this permission listed:
<uses-permission
    android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
which I guess could be the issue ... but I don't really know how to get rid of it, Unity seems to add it arbitrarily.
If I push the app directly from Unity to the Oculus Go it works without any issue so I'm a bit confused, I'm pretty sure I haven't written any line of code that could require such API
in order to run (or that RECORD_AUDIO permission to be added in the manifest file), yet I'm also pretty sure that I'm missing something obvious :)
I hope somebody will be able to help me, thanks in advance.

    Quick update:
    I noticed this sticked thread: https://forums.oculusvr.com/developer/discussion/63094/announcement-dangerous-permission-error-in-unity-mobile-applications-fix and thought that was the obvious thing I was missing, unfortunately I just tried again following those instructions and, while the RECORD_AUDIO permission is finally gone from the generated manifest file, i still get the same speech API error when I upload the APK on the Oculus platform, I don't really know what I am doing wrong at this point.

    @imperativity I am having a similar problem with the message "This app uses the speech API, which is not supported on this device".
    The thing that I do not understand is that we already had a version working on Oculus Go and when I try to upload an update that warning is showing up.
    The application does use the microphone, but no speech permissions have been set on the manifest.
    What else should I check?

    I just discovered that a third party plugin we're using (mapbox) has references to the speech api, but it seems they can't be edited out. I'll ask their customer support how to solve my issue, thanks!

    @imperativity I sent you the code a couple days back, can you confirm you got it?

    i think Build natural language speech experiences that start with Cortana. Learn about new options for authoring natural language Voice Command Definitions (VCDs).

    Hey, we're seeing the same issue but we're unable to identify any issues in our AndroidManifest.xml - the automated test system is indicating that our build uses the Speech API, but we can't see any references to the Speech API in our manifest. Can anybody else spot the issue?
