I believe rpm automatically detects the dependencies, even if they are
not in the spec. Removing the dependency from the spec might not help.
There may be some hackish ways of removing a dependency from the rpm
headers but I don't think that it would be a good idea. Better to spend
time on hacking something more useful than that.
Another approach is to load the library with dlopen, e.g.
https://github.com/monich/harbour-books/blob/master/app/stubs/libmagic.c
This allows you to get around the harbour limitations and yet in every
other respect it's as good as linking with the system library. Of course
by doing so you assume the risk of using the unsupported api. Obviously,
this kind of trick should only be done to very stable libraries that are
extremely unlikely to disappear from the system and have a proven track
record of evolving in a backward compatible manner.
I think the best solution is to add sqlite3 to allowed_libraries.conf
and submit a pull request:

Is the automatic checker not allowing it through with sqlite3 as a
requirement? Are you sure that you used the packagename used on
jolla systems for the requirement?
During deployment as RPM, the specific error is
Requires

FAILED
earlier versions of this app were published in the store without any
issues. Its a part of the app evolution to require sqlite3 for its
function, at least for a time being.
I agree that static linking of sqlite3 is not necessary and can be
considered as a bloat. Hence my question :)
