Chrome Web Store Approval Does NOT recognize extension using chrome apis. Ask to Remove Permission.

[Chris Pakken]

In my extension, I am using vite (esbuild) to build and minify my code before I zip and submit for approval. 
```ts
const browser = ((globalThis as any).browser || (globalThis as any).chrome) as typeof chrome

export const chromeTabs = browser.tabs
export const chromeWindows = browser.windows
export const chromeStorage = browser.storage
export const chromeCommands = browser.commands
export const chromeRuntime = browser.runtime

export const chromeDisplay = browser.system.display
export const chromeAction = browser.action
export const chromeAlarms = browser.alarms
export const chromeTabGroups = browser.tabGroups
export const chromeScripting = browser.scripting
export const chromeSessions = browser.sessions
```
I use this file to export all my chorme APIs, so that it can resolve some compatibility issues between firefox/chrome/edge (without using webextension polyfill) and also to minify imported file size since the variables are minified throughout the extensions (instead of using chrome.tabs, chromeTabs can be minified)

However when I submit the extension to the chrome store, I get 'Purple Potassium' violation, which says I am NOT using the following permissions(s), and it lists ALL the permissions I am requesting. 

I think the webstore does not recognize or detect the way I am exporting the chrome variables and thinks I am not using the chrome apis at all.

Has anyone run into this issue? Do I have to replace these variables and explicitly use chrome.tabGroups (for example) for chrome webstore to recognize I am using tabGroups permission?

Hi Chris,

Are you still running into this? If so, could you share the item ID?

For the one extension I see under your email, it looks like you resubmitted and the submission was approved a few hours ago :)
