Let’s wait to hear what others have to say.

@wei I think it has been fixed. While I was uploading my APK, I didn’t receive any error regarding Background Location Access while earlier I was receiving such errors.

I can confirm it to you within 2-3 days.

The fix is deployed. Can someone verify if the fix work?

Does it still ask for a location permission with a WebViewer component? Just wanted to be sure before we try it out to avoid confusion. Thanks

@wei it would seem to have worked because if I go to the submission form in “Authorization declarations” relating to geolocation and try to see which relise have the problem, the one added after the fix is ​​not there, so consequently it does not contain the request for the resource geolocation, it would automatically appear to be fixed.
I will confirm in 1/2 days

No - it shouldn’t do this any more. Can you let us know if you encounter any issues?

Sure. As of now it is not showing the error while uploading. We will surely write to you again in case we face any issues.

A hearty thanks to the Thunkable team for the efforts put, and for the prompt solution.

Hey everyone,

Just to close out this topic - the engineering team were able to get a fix out for this yesterday and everything seems to be working as expected again when publishing apps now.

Please leave a like here if it’s working for you and if any new issues arise, please create a new topic and @ me.

Thanks!

Hi , many of us are facing similar issue due to Google’s new location permission policy. 5 of my apps doesn’t need any sort of location access but the ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION permission is turned on in all the 5 APKs downloaded from Thunkable. Can we get some help?

If you submitted an update, the previous version of your app is still available on Google Play.
