According to the Requesting access to background location, Google Play requires a strict(er) set of requirements to be able to use background permissions for apps installed via the Google Play store. It provides a set of guidelines which have to be fulfilled to allow an app to enter- or remain in the store with said permissions. According to the document, it states:
May: Developers can request feedback on their use case via the Play Console with an estimated reply time of two weeks.
Having adjusted the app we have in the store, we're ready for a review to see if everything is correctly implemented. The documentation states that feedback can be requested through the Play Console, but I don't see any such option. How do we go about request a reviewing so that we can keep background permissions for the continued operation of our app?
The form can be submitted through the new Google Play Console. It has a top level navigation item now.
Select the app in the console > Policy > App policy > Sensitive app permission > Manage.
