Sensitive permission issue while publishing my new app

I have created an Android app after months of hard work and when it came to publishing, Google straight away rejected it. Google says i am using a sensitive permission PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS. To use this permission either my app shall be a default call handler or my core feature shall fall under the exceptions they have provided. If my core feature doesn't fall under those exceptions which it actually doesn't, then i must report a new use case. I reported new use case properly and waited for two weeks NO RESPONSE. I tried publishing my app again as exception "device automation". It got rejected again saying my app doesn't fall under this exception.

Basically what my app does is, base on phone number to which call is being made, it shows some personalize data on an overlay screen over dialer. ( Cannot tell you the complete details, i am really sorry for that). No it is not a caller id or spam detection either.

I went through Google document over and over to see if i missed something. https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9214102?hl=en I couldn't find any.

My time and money has been invested in this and i can't start showing it to people.

If someone came across same issue and able to resolve it please help.

And if more details required please comment i will provide.
