Does requesting for ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION count as accessing BACKGROUND_LOCATION? I have an app which request both of those permissions for Google Maps and I am receiving warnings about BACKGROUND_LOCATION after uploading the apk in playstore. I don't used FusedLocationService in the app as well just the google maps itself so I'm really confused about the warning presented ng Google Play. Can anyone shed a light on this? Is there something I should be doing?

it does if you're targeting older API levels

btw, not really K related 😛

Then do I have to make code changes? or do I only have to apply for permissions in google play?

[arekolek]

Soon, targeting API 29 is required for updates, so probably will need to make changes eventually

Unless you already target it

[arekolek]

I have no idea

[Archie]

yes I am already targeting it but I though its only required if using Background location permission.

Then maybe you don't need to do anything

[arekolek]

I'd reach out to Google Play support in your case
