Maui Essentials Permissions CheckStatusAsync<LocationWhenInUse> Or CheckStatusAsync<LocationAlways> returns Denied instead of restricted

[mh05]

Description

I am using Permission to get and/or check the users location Permission on API 31 or API 34. When checking the current permission status it will returns PermissionStatus.Denied even when RequestAsync returns PermissionStatus.Restricted

I found a related issue in the Maui repo: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/10053 and it seems to be fixed.

iOS is working as far as i know

Note: The Microsoft.Maui.Essentials" Version="9.0.0-preview.5.24307.10" encounters the same error. Manifest :

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

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add all permissions to Manifest.xml
2. Call await Permissions.CheckAsync();
3. Which shows a popup asking whether you allow approximate location, precise location or not allow location at all.
4. Select approximate location.
5. It returns PermissionStatus.Restricted;
6. Call await Permissions.CheckStatusAsync();
7. It returns value PermissionStatus.Denied

Hi @Zhanglirong-Winnie.

Sorry for the lack of clarity and the wrong steps .2nd step should be Permissions.CheckAsync() instead of RequestAsync. (I did change my openingspost)

Summary:

• RequestAsync permission will return the correct value.
• CheckAsync permission will return denied if the user hasn't specified an exact location.

I Added a project to check PermissionTest
