Publishing failed - Background services

[burekas7]

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

Flutter (Dart)

Steps to reproduce

I recently added background location tracking to the mobile app.
Now, when I try to publish it for testing purposes only, I get an error in both the App Store and Google Play.

You can see the log here:

How can I solve this?

Hello @burekas7,
From Apple, the reason for the failure of iOS is in the logs, which is below:

Missing Info.plist value. The Info.plist key 'BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers' must contain a list of identifiers used to submit and handle tasks when 'UIBackgroundModes' has a value of 'processing'. For more information, refer to the Information Property List Key Reference at https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Introduction/Introduction.html.

UIBackgroundModes includes processing, but the Info.plist does not include BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers. Please add this key to your iOS Info.plist and include the identifier(s) used by the app for background tasks.
For example:

<key>BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers</key>
<array>
    <string>your.bundle.identifier.taskname</string>
</array>

Make sure the identifier matches what your app uses when registering/submitting background tasks.
You can also check this SO thread for more details - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57927881/how-to-fix-app-store-connect-operation-error-itms-90771

From Google Play, the error:

You must let us know whether your app uses any Foreground Service permissions.

Google requires you to complete the Foreground Service declaration for the foreground service permissions used by the app. Since background location tracking was added, please check the permissions/services declared in the Android manifest and complete the required Foreground Service permission declaration in Play Console for this app.

After updating the iOS Info.plist and completing the Google Play declaration, please run the build again.

@dam-ease
First of all, thanks for the help.

Regarding iOS, thanks
I'll check out what that's about.
Thanks for the guidance.

I already had this:

<key>BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers</key>
<array>
	<string>com.yourcompany.grasshopper.location</string>
</array>

Maybe I will try this one instead as they suggests there:

<key>BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers</key>
<array>
	<string>$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER)</string>
</array>

Regarding Google Play, I've actually already checked with Gemini.
However, I couldn't find the section that refers to "Foreground services" in App Content, and I checked both tabs there (Need Attention and Actioned)
The closest thing I found in App Content was "Location Services",
but they didn't recognize that I have a bundle uploaded there that requires filling out some sort of permission.

Gemini suggested uploading manually and saving it as a draft, because that forces them to re-evaluate it, but that didn't help :/

Any help here with Google Play please?

EDIT: I was actully need to upload and submit it, not just a draft. I have the declaration now.

Thanks
