Location Permission #21

Closed colinskow closed 4 years ago

colinskow commented 4 years ago

I have some ideas to do some cool things based on a rough location. A string isn't enough, I need lat/long coordinates. Is it acceptable to use the location permission on the device? I don't see anything against this in the rules (we aren't collecting the data), but wanted to check.

The other option is to modify ClockCustomizer and add a latitude / longitude field with defaults.

https://github.com/flutter/flutter_clock/issues/9#issuecomment-557338690 is relevant.

If you base behavior on device location, then the judges will need to enter lat/long coordinates in the iOS or Android simulator. I think it would be just as straight forward to provide those coordinates in your submission notes and allow them to be entered directly as the location string.

Make sense?

Yes, that makes sense. I'll just add a note in my submission to enter Lat/Long coordinates in the existing location field. Probably not worth it to embed a 150MB geocoding database.

Sounds good!
