Hi,
I was uploading the app to Play Store and it prompted me that (among others) the following permissions are also being used by the app:
- ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION
- READ_CONTACTS
- READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
- READ_INTERNAL_STORAGE
- WRITE_CALENDAR
- WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
I want to remove these permissions specially ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION and READ_CONTACTS because my app does NOT use features related to these at all!
Play Store has a new policy for app developers to declare via a Video how background location is being used. Unless this is resolved I won’t be able to publish my app to Play Store.
Additionally, apps/developers who use these permissions without any usage of these, are not respected by end users and Play Store. Please help.
