Version 1.1.0 requires Permission ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION

Assessment

This issue has not been assessed yet.

Description

If we try to publish an internal release in the google play console, we get two errors, smth like that:

Error
Your declaration of permissions for location determination in the background needs to be updated.

Error
This release contains permissions that have not yet been explained in the Play Console. You can update the permissions declarations via the sensitive app permissions. Further information

I guess this comes from the Manifest in the background-runner sources itself.

In our own Manifest, we do not add ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION:

We are not in the need of accessing the GPS-Location with the background runner.

Is there a way to take the permission out?
