App Rejected from play store “designed for families”

This is the first game I have written and I am trying to publish it to Google Play store in the Designed For Families section. The app keeps getting rejected with the following feedback:
Apps in Designed for Families must include metadata text and images
that accurately reflect the app experience.
I have read all the guidelines and policies and I cant work out where I am going wrong! I have revised the short and full description and I feel they fully reflect the app. The images are all screen shots from game play so they should accurately reflect the experience.
I have changed the "family category" to be "Brain Games" as this is the best fit for the app. I m happy to include the full description and short description and the images that i have used for the release but I didnt want to bombard the thread with to much information...
Have I totally missed understood the feedback??? is it actually referring to the metadata in the androidManifest?
I know there are lots of thread about getting rejected from the play store but none of those address this particular issue.
Thanks for reading I hope someone can help as I am really stuck!

I have received the same feedback, but no further explanations. Did you found any solution?

Yes. The problem was due to not having a icon for when the games was installed. So I my case the game kauncher icon just showed as the unity logo once the game was installed. I had to set this using Android studio. Hope this helps 😊

The icon is displayed correctly (on my device and in the emulator)... :-(

To find the answer to in my scenario, I had to contact android developer console support. They were very supportive and told me exactly what the problem was. I definitely recommend contacting them.

In my case it was:
- API level was really really low ( 22 vs latest 26+ )
- Adding more images to the Play store
- Adding privacy policy to the store listing ( at the bottom of the page )
