About the Permissions and APIs that Access Sensitive Information policy

Requests for permission and APIs that access sensitive information should make sense to users. You may only request permissions and APIs that access sensitive information that are necessary to implement critical current features or services in your app that are promoted in your Google Play listing. You may not use permissions or APIs that access sensitive information that give access to user or device data for undisclosed, unimplemented, or disallowed features or purposes. Personal or sensitive data accessed through permissions or APIs that access sensitive information may never be sold nor shared for a purpose facilitating sale.

Request permissions and APIs that access sensitive information to access data in context (via incremental requests), so that users understand why your app is requesting the permission. Use the data only for purposes that the user has consented to. If you later wish to use the data for other purposes, you must ask users and make sure they affirmatively agree to the additional uses.

Action required: Submit an updated app for review

Here's what to do to help get your app on Google Play:

  1. Make sure to read the applicable policies or requirements listed below:
  1. Make appropriate changes to your app (if possible), and be sure to address the issue described above. You may also want to check your app's store listing for compliance, if applicable.

TraPon & Radar

Reads like you are setting or requesting permissions in your app that fall outside those accepted by Google Play for an app of your type.

These might be using the "SendMessageDirect" block or the "ManageExternalStorage" permission.

You will need to resolve / remove these in order for your app to be accepted.

Hi TIMAI2,

Thank for responding,
In TraPon I use "send message direct" block as you point out.

TraPon sends short message saying its device location to "Radar" while application"Radar" installed on another cellar phone asks by short message.

Is these system not approved by Google Play?

And what is SMS handler?
I apply my TraPon as SMS handler, but Google says No!
What shall I select from usecase list on SMS for TraPon?

If you can teach me ?

Hi TIMAI2,
You point out that "SendMessageDirect" is not permitted by Google.
If it is true, I must give up distribute TraPon through Google Play.
Thanks

you might want to try an extension to send sms, for example

or use the web component and an API to send SMS, for example Twilio
