What do you require assistance about?

Hello,
I am trying to submit app to google, but having it denied for the FOREGROUND_SERVICE declaration.
I understand the FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION declaration and I do have video and notes in the app for that.
Could you please help me understand why that standalone FOREGROUND_SERVICE is needed?

Thank you

Could you please help me understand why that standalone FOREGROUND_SERVICE is needed?

So that locations can be fetch while the app is in the background (this plug-in’s entire purpose).

Than I understand it properly. But can't figure out why google is flagging the FOREGROUND_SERVICE and not FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION. Despite having the video clearly demonstrating all of that functionality. Do you maybe have some insight what they would't like.

I am having this same issue with the Google Play Store.

@jdrozdnovak I was able to get my app through google play by adjusting my Foreground service permissions in App Content. I unchecked "User-initiated". Then I checked "Other" in the "Other Tasks" section. I linked a video and a brief explanation. That passed.
