I have my play console account since 2017. Since 2020, I haven't publish anyhting. Now, I created an app that uses the Taifun Location Extension to get GPS Speed and I am trying to publish it but they reject and reject and reject :(
Yesterday, the reason was:

Steps to bring the app into compliance:
Read through the Help Center article: Familiarize yourself with the Help Center article about understanding location in the background permissions. This will provide you with additional information regarding the requirements and guidelines for using location permissions in your app.
Review and update the prominent disclosure and consent requirements:
Ensure that the term “location” is included in your prominent disclosure.
Indicate how location is used in the background by using one of the suggested phrases: “background,” “when the app is closed,” “always in use,” or “when the app is not in use.”

By following these steps and addressing the missing information in the prominent disclosure, you should be able to update your app accordingly and resubmit it for review on the Play Store.
Hi! thanks for your answer…as far as I understand, I’ve added the term “location”, then used the phrase with “background” and the features… And I don’t understand what is the issue as I’ve modified it
