My app now has location permission and I can not update the app because my app’s target audience includes children under 13 ---

sounds like that’s a separate issue @point? ---

Probably yes, but I got this comment without making any changes to the app (I just updated the app to update to API 29) ---

Can you share some screenshots with us? Do you really need to be gathering the location information? Is it just an issue of you not having a data protection or privacy policy in place? ---

@domhnallohanlon this could indeed be the reason why but sometimes we need your help to remain compliant with privacy regulations, hence this [request](https://github.com/thunkable/thunkable-issues/issues/465) I raised a while ago. Just fyi, we would love to see this being implemented. Many thanks. ---

I do not have any location component in the application, here is a screenshot of the permissions of the previous version and the new version (I do not need the other permissions either): ![Screenshot_20200826-172936_Package installer](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/a/bac451b13b3cc09147e4873539c74adb1f15df3c.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20200826-173222_Package installer](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/4/042dafdbbe381345a19981667263a23c9f2b5587.jpeg) ---

Sure - but do you have a webviewer? or a map? The permissions that your app requires will be based on the components you are using. ---

The application has the following components: Alert, Text To Speech, Local Storage, Timer, Realtime DB, Sound, Button (s), Label (s), Lottie (s), Row (s), Loading Icon, Slider (s) and Column (s) ---

Hi I am having this error since the update User validation failed: payments.0.processStarted: Cast to date failed for value “true” at path “processStarted”. Thats when I create a new app. ---

@ozel1978, yep, you’ll have to rebuild it, but we have **lots** of templates and open source projects that you can use to speed up this process. Can you share a link to your app in the Play store please and I can suggest where to get started. Thanks. ---

I have uploaded app before august using api 28, but this app cannot be downloaded from playstore for below android 9 user, How do I solve this problem? How do I configure my app so that Android Version 4.0 Users and higher android version users can download and use the app? If I monetize my app with admob does I need to share the revenue with thunkable?
