Keeps asking for Phone Permissions to join meetings

On Android, all of a sudden, Teams repeatedly says, "Teams Needs Permission" "If you want to place a call or join a meeting, go to settings and allow Phone permission to Teams."

It then takes you to Android Settings for the Teams app, and the "phone" permission IS allowed.

I've rebooted.

Cleared cache.

Cleared data

Reset the database.

Left developer preview.

Reinstalled Teams

Left the Beta and done all of the above over and over.

It isn't honoring the permissions that are set. So I can't join any meetings. Please advise.

    Just recieved a call from Microsoft confirming the issue. In the meantime the only solution is to install an earlier version from the link provided before in this thread.

    And wait for them to update.

    So just to be clear... did Microsoft themselves literally advise installing an earlier version using an unverifiable out-of-band third-party source?

    (I realize that might be the only work around that we can come up with outside of Microsoft--but if their customer service is literally advising people to do this then my head may very well expload... why haven't they just pulled the update so that the Play Store starts giving out the older version again???)

    Thats a correct statement, thats the email I received. And today I received a call to confirm. I hesitated at first but I needed TEAMS for work so I found a "trusted" version.
