The Jetpack plugin is a necessary component for the WooCommerce app to establish a secure and reliable connection with your WordPress site. It provides essential functionalities that ensure a seamless experience while using the app. While we recognize that you may have plugins that perform exceptionally well, the WooCommerce app relies on Jetpack for specific functionalities, and that’s why we need the Jetpack plugin to be installed on your site.
This is not true, before connecting my site to the google listings for adding products to the google merchant, i was able to log into the mobile app without the jetpack plugin, using my local wordpress accounts. Now that i have been forced to make the connection to wordpress.com, i am not able to log in to the app anymore with my local accounts.
