Invalid contact phone number specified for this app

Question

I am getting this message while publishing apk using gradle-play-publisher

{
    "code" : 403,
    "errors" : [ {
      "domain" : "androidpublisher",
      "message" : "Invalid contact phone number specified for this app.",
      "reason" : "invalidAppContactPhone"
    } ],
    "message" : "Invalid contact phone number specified for this app."
  }

I don't want to specify any phone number for app as it is not a mandatory field, How can I do that using gradle-play-publisher?

Thanks

Fixed in gradle-play-publisher updated build 1.1.2 :

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.github.triplet.gradle:play-publisher:1.1.2'
}

After updating dependency and redownloading gradle dependencies following instructions How to force gradle to redownload dependencies, its fixed.
