I have made an app and downloaded the APK File for publishing it. While I am publishing in the Google Play Store, it gives me warnings that the app has access to background location and aks to specify the reason, even though I have not included any functionality or component that uses the location, is still has permission for it. The background location access permission comes pre-baked into the code. Due to this, it doesn’t satisfy with the new Play Store 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. Can we please fix this issue? I had seen a similar post 1 year back saying it was fixed, but it is back again. Can @Thunkable please fix this at the earliest for all the developers using this platform!?! ---
