RN Version: 0.64.2 Library Version: 5.2.0 Tested Android Versions: Android 7, Android 10, Android 11 (Emulator)

Ref Example Link: https://github.com/Agontuk/react-native-geolocation-service/blob/master/example/src/App.js

I have used 3 Constant of your example file:

• hasPermissionIOS()
• hasLocationPermission()
• getLocation()

Configure getLocation() into useEffect to call when screen initialize.

Current Behavior: Not getting permission popup while screen open. And I check into app-info of My Application and their is already enabled location permission. The Fact is I never use Location related permission before in my app. then why it's already enabled?

Expected Behavior: When I open screen, Permission popup will come up.

• I haven't check into IOS, but in Android I checked into Multiple devices with Different Android Versions.

AndroidManifest.xml File

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

Does the example project behave the same way ?

Does the example project behave the same way ?

I run your example code and there is no automatic granted location permission, while I tap on get location button is was raised and ask for permission. Then when I run my application on same device and it was granted bydefault. why this happens.

@Agontuk Don't worry man, it's happening only on development phase. I checked after release build all things working properly & good.

Ok, not sure though why it happens in your project. You can try uninstalling your app, or changing the app identifier to see if it's a cache issue.

yes, It only happens in your development phase, and works normally in release! thank you!
