Hey @grazer, I’m currently trying to publish my game on Google Play, but it says I need to make a privacy policy because it requires the “Read Phone State” permission(among others which I don’t remember). Can you look into this when you have time?
Reading a previous post says it’s related to Admob somehow?
Hey @luminous - which game is it? I’ll check out the APK as well.
im pretty sure you might need a liscenes
I forgot what website I used, but you can look up a “privacy policy generator”. Go through a series of questions that the games does, and it’ll make a privacy policy that suites your game.
Then you just link the policy to the play console for the game page. I was able to find and make a policy for free. You need to have a policy to release your game.
I think this permission is the only thing that made me need a privacy policy, and the game doesn’t need to read phone state at all. I think CrimsonBlackGames had a similar problem earlier, which grazer was able to fix. But thanks for the site, I will use it if the problem still occurs
By default, all Flowlab games should have these permissions:
The policy is different from the problem Crimson was having.
His problem was the admod was crashing the exported game which should be fixed by now.
You have to have a Privacy Policy in order to release your game in the Google Play store.
Actually, I just found the Privacy Policy that I used for my app, but I dont remember where I created it.
(This is just where the page for the policy is stored, not where the policy was created)
I created my privacy policy, and it looks like I used the same creator as you did (since it’s also on Flycricket). But it still says it needs to read phone state, when it shouldn’t.
The phone state is keeping the phone from falling asleep.
Have you linked the policy to the game page in the play console?
