Why does background location not working in standalone build on android ?

Expo SDK
1

Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: 46
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): Android

I am using expo-location to track user location while the app is in background. it’s seems to work property in dev mode (using bare workflow and test with physical device) but when i generate an apk file, it’s not working anymore.

in expo-location doc (here) they mention that To use background location features, you must add the ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION in app.json and submit your app for review and request access to use the background location permission. ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION is property configured in app.json even in AndroidManifest.xml file but my app is not submitted yet on play store for review. can that submission for review be the cause ? if so, why in dev mode, it’s working property ?
