SDK 34 Play Store Rejected without video of FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC functionality

[baggednismo]

Describe the bug
The library has been fully functional and setup as documented. Has been working in production for months now. Targeted the latest SDK 34 when building for release. After uploading to google play console it throws an error You must let us know whether your app uses any Foreground Service permissions.

Looking through the manifest merge logs I found this
ADDED from [net.gotev:uploadservice:4.9.2] /Users/{user}/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/79699670084e687319315e25462d08d3/transformed/jetified-uploadservice-4.9.2/AndroidManifest.xml:8:22-74 uses-permission#android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC

Using this library now requires videos to be taken of the upload process in order to release it.

To Reproduce

1. Set target / compile SDK to 34
2. Upload to Google Play console as a new release.

Thank you, useful to be known!

@baggednismo I am currently in a process to upgrade our apps for SDK 34 and originally came looking if DATA_SYNC will be good enough for this.

Did your app manage to get through the process after you uploaded the video?

@trix0 I didn't want to take the chance, I had a critical project that needed to move to production. I removed the library and switched to workmanager.

we are also actively using this library and with provided video of upload feature our app has been approved.
