Google Play blocks deploy after updating Radar to 3.9.8

[jt-gilkeson]

Summary

Our CI (BitRise) has a step that uploads our build to the play store. Google play is blocking the upload due to the following error: Failed to commit edit, error: googleapi: Error 403: You must let us know whether your app uses any Foreground Service permissions., forbidden

This appears to be a result of the change in 3.9.8: Adds FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION permission to Android manifest.

Rolling back Radar to a previous version (3.9.5 - what we were using in our last release) eliminates the issue.

Need guidance on how to be able to submit to the play store without being blocked. I don't see anything on the play store under policies that let's us declare that we need/use this permission.

This may be a flaw in using a CI to deploy and how google implemented this check.
