hey @anindya2791 I've implemented your changes and it indeed builds and works as expected. Thanks for your work (cc @sandeep14)

However, I have issues with uploading my APK to the google play store due to

"message": "You must let us know whether your app uses any Foreground Service permissions.",
"status": "PERMISSION_DENIED"

I think it might be related to the net.gotev:uploadservice-okhttp version bump: https://github.com/Vydia/react-native-background-upload/pull/347/files#diff-197b190e4a3512994d2cebed8aff5479ff88e136b8cc7a4b148ec9c3945bd65aR67

See this issue: gotev/android-upload-service#660

If you guys have the same issue, or any ideas, how to solve it, please let me know.

I think you need to declare the uses-permission in your AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />

afaik, this is a play store mandate for Android 13+

[anindya2791]

We are using this in RN 0.72.7 with SDK <= 34 so far no issues reported by users. Can we get this merged?

To solve the FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC error on the playstore
I have use the work of tomit87 he moved service to worker
And I applied to this library

react-native-background-upload+6.6.0.patch

[mtshv]

@kevinmartin33 thank you so much for sharing your solution for this problem!
Will try your suggested approach <3

@anindya2791 thank you for the response, unfortunately explicitly declaring android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE nor android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC did not resolve the issue.

both permission declarations still result in:

"message": "You must let us know whether your app uses any Foreground Service permissions.",
"status": "PERMISSION_DENIED"

[mtshv]

hey @Abdelsattar
In the end I provided the reasoning for the foreground permission usage to google reviewers as well as video showcasing the upload functionality. It worked. Looks like this was 1-time thing.

I crafted my explantion text based on this comment: gotev/android-upload-service#660 (comment)

Good luck!
