Hi there,

I have the following manifest lines:

B4X:
AddManifestText(<uses-feature android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" android:required="false" />)
AddManifestText(<uses-feature android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" android:required="false" />)
'RemovePermission(android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)
'RemovePermission(android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)

as you see the 2 RemovePermission are commented out.

Using like this, I have a tablet that is not listed anymore in the compatibility list and I cant update de app on it.

If I bring back those 2 lines, removing those permissions, it is back to the list and I can update de app.

I had to do this in order to have google maps on my app

What is strange is that the tablet is a full featured equipment, it has gps, gsm, etc;

Is there a workaround that I could remove the permission and ask for it when the app is installed?

At least a way the user can still download the app from play store?

Thank you
