Location Services required to be on in device settings #48

Open mikevbaker opened 1 year ago

mikevbaker commented 1 year ago

Overview:

The Windows 11 Location Services has to be turned on to view any screen in the app. The app can't even display preferences, location settings, or the primary location.

Acceptance Criteria:

The app should be able to show anything except the weather for the 'current location'. If the user has a 'Primary location' set then it should be able to show that.

Steps to Duplicate ( required for bug reports ):

Verify that 'Location Services' are enabled in Start / Settings / Privacy & Security / Location (this might be default) Install the app on Windows 11. Open the program and add a location to 'Saved Locations'. Use the star to select it as the 'Primary Location'. Reopen 'Location Services' and turn it off (option at top of Privacy & Security / Location) Restart the PC (I tried this without restarting and it didn't act the same) Note the app shows the cloud with the slash Tap the icon "Loading" screen with circle animation runs perpetually

System Info ( required for bug reports ):

Brand new upgrade from Windows 10 done last week (10/17/22) Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.60 GHz 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Reopening Issue.

Previously closed as I was planning on closing down the app for being too expensive for me to run, but going to see if Community Support via donations can at least pay the server bills I have to keep this free app running for folks.
