Starting on Android 14 foreground services require to declare additional permissions. So that's the fix I've provided. As I've just learned, Google Play has additional policy restrictions for these new permissions. They require to publishers to provide a screen capture demonstrating when the foreground service is in use. I did attempts recording such a screen capture, but I couldn't get the foreground service icon to show up. So I'll have to do more debugging and figure out what the foreground service code actually does. I have to check if it's obsolete, or needs fixing and follow up accordingly.

after a little more debugging and some minor refactoring I could the foreground service to show up. That allowed me to create the video Play Console asked for submitting a new release with foreground service permission.
