Android App Fix & Deployment

I'm in need of an experienced Android developer to resolve a couple of critical issues with my app and get it live on the Google Play Store. Specifically, I'm looking to address the following concerns:

- Library Issue: There seems to be a problem with the app's libraries that need to be resolved. This could be related to dependency conflicts, missing dependencies, or obsolete libraries. The ideal candidate should be capable of diagnosing and rectifying such issues.

- Policy Violation: My app has encountered a policy violation that is preventing it from being published on the Play Store. The selected freelancer will need to identify the specific violation and make the necessary changes to ensure the app complies with Google's policies.

This project requires a developer who's not only proficient in Android development but also has a solid understanding of Google Play policies and deployment guidelines. The ideal candidate should be able to troubleshoot and resolve complex issues efficiently and ensure a seamless transition of the app to the production environment.

Issue mentioned bellow:

Issue found: Violation of User Data, Permissions and APIs that Access Sensitive Information Policies

We have observed that your app is using an SDK that is designed to collect device location by default. This SDK can result in your app violating the prominent disclosure and consent and/or approved purpose requirements of Google Play’s User Data and Permissions and APIs that Access Sensitive Information policies. You are hereby requested to provide evidence of your compliance with the Prominent Disclosure and Consent requirements. Your app submissions will be rejected pending your action.

Issue details

We found an issue in the following area(s):

Version code 1:

SDK: Paypal Data Collector [login to view URL]:data-collector (consider upgrading to version [login to view URL]:data-collector:3.21.0)

Version code 5:

SDK: Paypal Data Collector [login to view URL]:data-collector (consider upgrading to version [login to view URL]:data-collector:3.21.0)

To bring your app into compliance, follow these steps:

Verify that your app accesses, collects, uses, and shares (including with SDKs) device location only for approved purposes and in compliance with the applicable prominent disclosure and consent requirements of the above-mentioned policies. Do not enable SDK data collection if it violates these requirements.

Submit an appeal of this rejection and attach evidence (e.g. screenshots or a video demonstration of the in-app prominent disclosure and consent experience) of your compliance with the Prominent Disclosure requirements.

In the alternative, you may consider removing the SDK code designed to collect personal and sensitive user data by default, or moving to an alternative SDK or version which includes the appropriate technical mechanism to ensure that end user consent information collected by apps is honored. You may consider upgrading to a policy-compliant version of this SDK, if available from your SDK provider or removing the SDK. Google is unable to endorse or recommend any third party software.

Paypal Data Collector [login to view URL]:data-collector: Consider upgrading to version [login to view URL]:data-collector:3.21.0 of the SDK.
