Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards,
[Jorge Guimarães]

Although it has not yet had a negative effect, it indicates that in the future it may affect foldable phones and future versions of Android. Just post in the Google Store and you can see if this error message appears. You can close this topic, since I was able to resolve the error. Thank you for your attention.
