Google Play rejects the app #143

Closed mobikats closed 10 months ago

"We are unable to approve your app’s use of QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission because the declared task can be done with a less broad app-visibility method."

I believe it is this package that currently requires the QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission - could that be refined?

mattermoran commented 1 year ago

Hmm that's the first rejection I hear for that permissions. There seems to be a way to not use package manager's getInstalledPackages method and instead do more like on ios by trying to see if app with package name supports opening url scheme. Should probably work but won't know until I try maybe this or next week

Thanks @mattermoran for the quick response and thoughts on that, I was considering removing it for now (and losing the functionality) but if you did have a solution that would be fantastic.

I can't be the only one facing it either, it looks like Google are becoming a lot stricter all of a sudden (even though some would say that it’s a bit late in the day - the barn was not only left open, it had a farm shop for posh people built in it).

@mobikats If you are still using this package and are in a place to try a submission feel free to test out my fork that is in this merge request:

https://github.com/mattermoran/map_launcher/pull/152

The app I'm working on isn't quite ready for review yet, but in testing this appears to function the same as the original detection method but without using getInstalledApplications.

Thanks @tjeffree but I must have solved this at the time by removing the package I expect. Thanks for fixing!
