BackgroundServiceStartNotAllowedException: Not allowed to start service Intent
Hey, I am a developer of the [CHECK24](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.check24.check24&hl=de) app and from time to time we get this crash in our app:
```
Not allowed to start service Intent { act=com.google.android.gms.analytics.ANALYTICS_DISPATCH cmp=de.check24.check24/com.google.android.gms.analytics.AnalyticsService }: app is in background uid UidRecord{db0c2cc u0a241 CAC bg:+4m23s554ms idle change:procadj procs:0 seq(404703,399269)}
```
Since August, we already got hundreds of crashes with that latest one happening 3 hours ago, so the issue still remains.
First, I thought it might be related to GmsCore but they told me that it looks like it comes from your implementation, see https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/issues/2524. In the thread you can also find all details and findings so far.
The maintainer mentions in his [comment](https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/issues/2524#issuecomment-2328595862) that the timeline of the first crashes matches roughly with the release of /e/OS 2.3.
We now also see more versions of GooglePlay affected:
{width=234 height=553}
These are the devices which cause the most issues:
{width=185 height=856}
Is this any actual issue or is this behavior intended for the purpose of blocking tracking on your OS?
