For some apps there are Google addresses in the traffic log but all Google entries in app details are blocked

Do you use TrackerControl from Google Play/F-Droid/other? 2022.05.21 from Github (via IzzyOnDroid repo) additionally AdAway (root)

All Google entries in the app details are blocked.

These domains haven't been fully resolved (which can happen). The traffic log uses IP lookup, which can be inaccurate.

What does that mean for these cases? Are these Google tracker IPs? TC allowed access, all Google domains for these apps should be blocked.

This means that it's not really possible to tell whether this is a tracking domain or not from the data that's been observed.

So this is kind of a "leak"? Could it be fixed if one could add these IPs to the blocked connections in the app details (e.g. by a new entry in the context menu of the traffic log)?

I don't know. There's already a list of the most common IPs integrated into the app.
