Android Question Foreground service permissions

[Alex_197]

Hi all.

My app using Firebug messaging. I updated the EDI to 13 and according to Erel's tutorial added these 2 lines into my manifest

AddPermission(android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_REMOTE_MESSAGING)
SetServiceAttribute(FirebaseMessaging, android:foregroundServiceType, "remoteMessaging")

It works fine, no errors. But when I tried to upload my app to Google play console it shows me these screens.

This is something new to me. I don't mind to create a video.

How do you handle this new situation?

Thanks.

I did. But the video - it's beyond my understanding. Why do they asking for a video?

sorry, you said you didn't mind making a video.
make a video of your app in action. google wants to see why you want to use the remotemessaging foreground service. if they approve, you will be allowed to publish the app on play. google does not want long-running, background-related apps that affect the battery. in this case, they need to see that the principal purpose of your app is remote messaging and to do this you need to run a foreground service. show them.

Yes, I created a video and now my app in review.
