I'm also faced same issue. After a long research i have fixed this.

First make sure you have removed the permission which is mention by Google' Polices.

First need to Deactivate Old App.

Follow the below instruction. Please make sure you do this process in Beta track:

1. Create a release
2. Don't select or drop the new APK now.
3. Give any name which is your old app name into the Release Name section.
4. Save the changes(Hope it not ask any error).
5. Press Review and then Start Rollout to production.(Don't worry it will only deactivate the Old App.)

Now can't see your old apk in beta section. Then you can do your as usual beta release.It will not ask the Declaration Form.

hope this will help for your headache.
