Release notes

English (United States)

Improves live-location consent feedback. Cancelling the disclosure now leaves sharing stopped without presenting a misleading technical error.

Ukrainian

Покращено повідомлення про згоду на передавання геолокації. Скасування діалогу тепер залишає передавання вимкненим і не показує помилкову технічну помилку.

Russian

Улучшена обратная связь при согласии на передачу геолокации. Отмена диалога теперь оставляет передачу выключенной и не показывает ложную техническую ошибку.

Local verification

Release unit tests, release lint, R8/resource shrinking, APK/AAB signing, bundletool validation and the production App Links gate passed.
The exported source fingerprint matches the current committed source.
API 37 instrumentation passed 10/10 tests, including explicit native disclosure cancellation and notification-based Stop behavior.
The independent process-death probe observed the expected killed process and verified that the non-sticky foreground service and notification did not remain.
The one-off emulator container, image and volume were removed by the test harness.

Detailed evidence is recorded in docs/google-play-release-candidate-2026-08-09-v3.md.
