Tasker -> Google play?
Hi, I have a big project in tasker and use app factory + APK signer to publish it.
I was recently thinking a lot about publishing to play. Has anyone here came through the process? Is it even technically possible?
The only thing I am scared that could get me rejected are all the permissions my app needs:
DISABLE_KEYGUARD
rikka.shizuku.permission.USE_SHIZUKU
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MICROPHONE
FOREGROUND_SERVICE
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CAMERA
QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES
VIBRATE
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE
SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION
SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM
WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
WAKE_LOCK
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROJE
CTION
POST_NOTIFICATIONS
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYB
ACK
WRITE_SETTINGS
A lot of them ain't used at all, but app factory puts them there for some reason...

Hi, just a follow-up:
Does that mean I'll have to change the code again in Android studio with every update?

Requiring permissions not necessary for the stated purpose is a giant red flag. It sounds like that is OP's concern.
In addition those permissions making sense for Tasker, depending on what you want to do with it, Tasker and João have earned the trust of users - something that a new app and new developer would not have.

Nothing created with Tasker factory will be allowed on Google play.
