Location permission manual request not always works #2201
Comments
This option doesn’t do what you think it does. Read about it in the api docs. if you do not want the plug-in to request permission, don’t tell it to .start(). Calling .start() always requests permission. listen to .onProviderChange event to learn about changes in permission. |

No, you probably didn't understand me. Permission request at Steps:
|
|
The plugin's
Therefore, before calling var providerState = await BackgroundGeolocation.getProviderState();
if (!providerState.enabled) {
// If you find location-services is disabled, you must tell the plugin to .stop(),
// which sets State.enabled -> false
BackgoundGeolocation.stop();
}
.
.
.
BackgroundGeolocation.ready(config) |

It doesn't work as you write. Request still appears at app startup import React, { useCallback, useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import { Button } from 'react-native';
import RNBG from 'react-native-background-geolocation';
export const BugReportExample = () => {
const [enabled, setEnabled] = useState(false);
const onStart = useCallback(() => {
RNBG.start(state => {
setEnabled(state.enabled);
});
}, []);
const onStop = useCallback(() => {
RNBG.stop(state => {
setEnabled(state.enabled);
});
}, []);
useEffect(() => {
RNBG.getProviderState().then(async providerState => {
if (providerState.enabled) {
await RNBG.stop();
}
RNBG.ready({
reset: true,
stopOnTerminate: false,
disableLocationAuthorizationAlert: true,
locationAuthorizationRequest: 'Any',
}).then(state => {
setEnabled(state.enabled);
});
});
}, []);
return (
<Button
title={enabled ? 'Stop' : 'Start'}
onPress={enabled ? onStop : onStart}
/>
);

That’s not how I wrote it. The plug-in API is asynchronous. You need to |

Compare your logic: if (providerState.enabled)with mine: if (!providerState.enabled) {if NOT enabled. If location-services are disabled, then .stop(). |

Ah, thx. But permission still requesting 🤷♂️ |
|
Provider state resolves to {
"accuracyAuthorization": 0,
"enabled": false,
"gps": true,
"network": true,
"status": 0
}I think there is some logic in native code that requests permission |

The plugin only requests permission if the plugin is Are you observing the plugin logs in |

These logs and your simple reproduction app are helpful. I’ll look into it. |

Option
disableLocationAuthorizationAlertdoesn't work as expected. Permission is requested at app startup.Your Environment
react-native -v): 0.75.3Standalone component to reproduce
Expected Behavior
If some requirement is missed (for proper plug-in work) and I tell that I manually controlling requests (
disableLocationAuthorizationAlert: true), there should be some warning or error during plug-in preparation (insideready).Actual Behavior
If location permission is missed (for "permanent" mode), plug-in will request it at app startup.
Steps to Reproduce
Context
I want to request location permission my own no matter the plug-in state is
