first launch auth pop-up armageddon #66

Given I've just installed the app And I say "I know where this spot is" Then I see a pop-up to use my camera, And a pop-up to use my location, And if I'm not quick enough, I'll get a popup that says "we can't find your location".

There's a couple of approaches...

1. Don't show the "we're having trouble locating you" if the person hasn't authorized their location yet. extracted into #70

  1. Ask for their location on the home view controller. This broaches the problem of having them see a popup upon launching the app, which is another non starter.

What about this:

or first, ask for the camera permission. Then, once they take the photo, ask them for location information before it's uploaded.

However - the downside there, is it takes a while to grab their location, so the user will have to wait longer before they can get their guess checked.

Another thought is we're not using the guess photo yet. I had plans to, but this problem is a small argument in favor of making it simply a location checking operation.

Finally solved by separating the location permission into the home screen, while the photo permission is on the camera screen.
