Description

First-time Android users can't see their own position on the map, and the "my location" button fails silently. Reloading the app once permissions have been granted allows the map to see the user's location.

Steps to Reproduce

On Android:

1. Uninstall, reinstall and open app
2. Pass through interstitial
3. Sign in with any identity
4. Open home screen and accept permissions request
5. See issue (fails to pan/zoom to your location)
6. Tap "my location" button
7. See issue

Expected behavior

The map will know and center on the user's location Tapping on "My location" button will center the map on the user's location

Actual behavior

The user provides permission, but no point representing the user appears on the map, and the "my location" button does nothing.

Additional context

• Upon closing and re-opening the app, the map can pull the user's own location
• on iOS, permissions are granted on the intersitial screen, but on android, Permissions come when viewing the map. Theory: the app tries and fails to get the user's location, asks for permission, but doesn't try again to get location once it has permission.

Assigning to Garo since they have dealt with permissions issues and are looking at related task #1806
