could you explain to me about this consent screen?

I don't understand what screen this is.

I don't understand what screen this is.

The privacy agreement dialog means that after entering the app for the first time, the user needs to be informed of what user related information the app has obtained, and can enter the app only after the user agrees. China's app stores require that user information, such as Android, IMEI, advertising ID and other important information, cannot be obtained before the privacy agreement dialog show

See those instructions here

Maybe you should disable tracking at app start and enable it again only after consent.
