The Twilight Store (S3:E6)
Here it should be noted that the video is to help the person doing the verification to understand what they need to do to verify the functionality and nothing more. It’s not a video to show to the court where it’s proven, without any reasonable doubt, that the app has the functionality in question.
Let me try something different, let me remove the link to the video, after all it is not mandatory.
Maybe, just maybe, since only Google can know how things actually are, the fact that the video exists is the real problem. Maybe, the bot that checks the video doesn’t understand what it is and marks it as incorrect, and, maybe, the person who goes to check it doesn’t feel like contradicting the bot, and, maybe, they’ve been trained not to. Maybe, just maybe, if there is no video the person doing the verification can make their own decision without having constraints.
Maybe.
google: “Unable to verify core functionality of app
We noticed that you have not submitted a video URL on the video link section of the Permissions Declaration Form.”
me: “Is it mandatory to provide the link for a video since on the permission declaration page the field for video link is optional?”
google: “If portions of your app are restricted, you must provide a video demonstration so the Google Play review team can easily evaluate your app’s core functionality.”
me: “There are no parts of the application that are restricted behind a login.
The only thing you do to verify functionality is to install the app in two devices, for example, a PC and a phone and connect both in the same WiFi network: to verify synchronization between devices it is necessary to install the app to more than one device.

Please let me know if you need further information and instructions.
Have I been able to explain everything clearly or do I need to provide more information to clarify some points and what they are?”
Thanks DeepL, do your best to make my English clear enough.
