Hi @AnanthaRaoK, there are new foreground permission requirements for submitting applications to the Google Play Store with Android SDK 34 (Android 14). I found users online using this workaround, where they block the permission in app.config.js, and they were able to submit their Android builds. Please check it out

Check the merged manifest, the permission is probably coming from a library you used.

You can see it directly on Android studio https://developer.android.com/build/manage-manifests#inspect_the_merged_manifest_and_find_conflicts (check here for reference)

Check also this guide which provides an example of a foreground service type declaration in the manifest
