Why does the engine need the FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC service? I need to find out this for google play

2

I received this warning when I tried to apply for open testing. The cause was due to the AndroidFileServer plugin. I was using this plugin to install my APK via USB, but disabling the plugin resolved the issue in the Play Console.

Supposedly if you deactivate the AndroidFileServer plugin it will tend to stop bothering, however the error message continues

Any updates on this? Tried disabling AndroidFileServer and still getting the same problem on UE 5.3

Found a solution.

The Android Runtime Permissionsplugin (I think, there’s barely any documentation) generates ManifestRequirementsOverride.txt in <project_directory>/Build/Android.

You need to remove the line <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC" __line="67" /> or similar.

Hope that helps!
