Hello,
We are having two issues. We have an Android based route delivery software that links to the ZQ520 through Bluetooth.
According to my developer, the Zebra SDK requires location permission to connect via bluetooth. Google recently updated their policy and now when I try to release a new APK, it is being rejected by Google because we ask for location permission. I tried to make the changes necessary to comply with Google, but it is still being rejected. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there a way to link using bluetooth without location permission?
Also, when we try to connect to the printer, Android 10 asks if we want to allow location "never, always, or only while app in use." If we select "only while app in use," it does not work. We have to say 'always' for the app to work properly.
I am not sure what else to do. We need to link with the Zebra ZQ520. I would appreciate any feedback. Also, I am not a programmer. thank you!

Usually mod apk files will not be supported by Google Play. You will have to upload to a few sites that offer mod apk.
Why is your app being rejected exactly? Apps that need Bluetooth definitely need location permission, this was a recent change in Android.
Are you using an EMM? You can configure most (all?) EMMs to automatically grant those runtime permissions so you would not have to worry about the user choosing the correct option. It sounds like you are connecting to the printer from the background based on that behaviour, is that the case?
