Describe the bug

Now that FGA is on Google Play Store again, it prompts for updates automatically when you open the app, which is a nice feature. However, if you have the application set to automatically enable the accessibility service when you open the application, it blocks the ability to interact with the Google Play store (including the pop up). Clicking outside of that in order to disable the service dismisses the pop up and closing the app (or navigating in and out of it), causes the service to be re-enabled and cause the same issue.

In order to actually update the app, you need to either modify your settings or go directly to the play store to update. Neither are particularly difficult, but less computer literate people might not realize either is an option. (Or for that matter, may not realize the service is what is causing them not to be able to update.)

Ideally, if Google has a hook in their API that lets you know when an update notification pops up in the application, you could use that to disable the service when it occurs. Or alternatively, perhaps there is a way to trigger an update check and the pop up if the stop service button is pressed. If neither of those is feasible, I'm not sure if there is a good solution for this off the top of my head unless you can add some messaging to the notification somehow to let users know how to bypass it.

This was technically tested on the build number prior to 2124-- I'm not sure what that build number is though, I updated before I thought to log an issue.

Can provide a video if necessary, but I think it's fairly self explanatory.
