We will continue to take in feedback and work closely with the developer community to prioritize data privacy and transparency for users.

The Data safety section provides users with a simplified view of how an app collects, shares, & secures user data, but we also want to make app permissions information easily viewable for users to understand an app’s ability to access specific restricted data & actions too.

Privacy and transparency are core values in the Android community. We heard your feedback that you find the app permissions section in Google Play useful, and we've decided to reinstate it. The app permissions section will be back shortly.

Are you using the OnLifecycleEvent annotation to hook into lifecycle events? This is now deprecated; use DefaultLifecycleObserver instead, simply overriding its appropriate methods. The best part? You can remove the lifecycle-compiler annotation processor from your project! 🥳
