"Is it possible to remove the USE_EXACT_ALARM permission?

[yuhouzhizhu]

"Google Play requires targetSdkVersion 34 or higher and has strict requirements for the USE_EXACT_ALARM permission, including filling out permission declarations and providing a video. However, MQTT operates as a background service, and screen recording isn't effective. Are there alternative technologies to replace AlarmManager?"

Hello @yuhouzhizhu , to comply with Google Play's target SDK requirements, particularly the restrictions around the USE_EXACT_ALARM permission, you will need to consider alternative technologies for scheduling background tasks without relying on AlarmManager. Since your application uses MQTT, which operates as a background service, and you're dealing with background task scheduling, some potential alternatives include:
-Work Manager
-JobScheduler
-Firebase Cloud Messaging
-Foreground Service with Notification
-ScheduleExecutorService
etc
