Is background permission required

[stillie]

Is the android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION location required for this plugin? If so what's the reason for it being required?

I just removed it and seems to work fine. Probably only required if you are accessing location when app is inactive (in background). In that case Google Play store app review has a set requirements that you need to fill for the app to make it to Play store.

From Play store review Eligibility Issue Feature does not meet requirements for background location access Based on our review, your declared feature does not meet the requirements for background location access. Please remove the background location permission requested and submit an update to your app. When declaring a feature for background location access, please note the following: Your selected feature should deliver clear value to the user and be important to the core functionality, or main purpose of the app. Without this core feature, the app is “broken” or rendered unusable. You should also consider if users would expect the app to access their location in the background, and if you can deliver the same experience without accessing location in the background.
