# Internal testing release v3
|
||
|
||
This is the operator record for the current Google Play Internal testing
|
||
release. The source-bound artifact was uploaded, released only to Internal
|
||
testing, delivered by Google Play, and verified on the authorised physical
|
||
phone on 2026-08-10.

Do not upload an artifact with a different hash under this release record. A

code change requires a new version code, a fresh source-bound build, and a new
|
||
record.

|
||
## 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`.
|
||
|
||
## Publication evidence
|
||
|
||
Play Console was re-read on 2026-08-10 and showed:
|
||
|
||
1. track **Internal testing** is active;
|
||
2. latest release is `0.1.2 Location consent clarity`;
|
||
3. the release is available to internal testers with one version code;
|
||
4. the release timestamp is 2026-08-10 11:02 AM in the Console UI;
|
||
5. the app is still unreviewed, so Internal testers see the temporary package
|
||
name until the application setup is reviewed;
|
||
6. no Closed or Production rollout was started by this release.
|
||
|
||
The App content overview was re-read on 2026-08-10 and showed exactly one item
|
||
under **Need attention**: the Foreground service permissions declaration. Its
|
||
Location form had no saved task selection and the Save control was disabled.
|
||
No incomplete declaration was saved or submitted during this inspection.
|
||
|
||
The Dashboard separately showed overall app setup at 9 of 11 tasks. The two
|
||
incomplete tasks were **Select an app category and provide contact details** and
|
||
**Set up your store listing**. Closed testing remained locked until those tasks
|
||
are complete and reported `0 testers currently opted-in`. No values were saved
|
||
and no Closed or Production release was created during this inspection.
|
||
|
||
The authorised physical phone then passed the strict installed-build verifier:
|
||
Google Play installer, Play App Signing identity, exact `0.1.2 (3)` version,
|
||
verified production App Link, and `MainActivity` resolution.
|
||
|
||
## Post-publication foreground-location evidence
|
||
|
||
An exact run-scoped production fixture was used only for the location replay.
|
||
The Play-delivered app showed the prominent disclosure, Android permission
|
||
prompt, active in-app state, and persistent notification while minimized. The
|
||
notification Stop action ended the session; server verification observed 41
|
||
samples and zero retained raw positions. Exact fixture cleanup deleted the
|
||
request, assignment, session, and synthetic requester, then both production
|
||
and frozen-test readiness endpoints returned `ready`.
|
||
|
||
The long evidence take is not the submission video: Android's recorder reached
|
||
its time limit before the Stop action was captured even though Stop and server
|
||
cleanup were verified immediately afterward. A separate 21.379802-second take
|
||
from this same Play-delivered version now includes the trigger, disclosure,
|
||
permission prompt, minimized persistent notification, notification Stop action,
|
||
and stopped state. Its path and SHA-256 are recorded in
|
||
`location-and-fgs-declaration.md`. It remains local evidence until it is hosted
|
||
as an unlisted video and its URL is saved with the foreground-service
|
||
declaration. Do not replace the Internal candidate before that declaration is
|
||
complete.
