Expected Behavior

After denying the background location permission , it'd not ask again for the permission .

Actual Behavior

Even after denying the always location permission it asks every time the app opens .

Steps to Reproduce

1. 2. 3. 4.

Context

send location data to an api on geofence enter/exit .

locationAuthorizationRequest: 'Always',

Have you read the API docs for Config.locationAuthorizationRequest?

Hello @christocracy i tried with these paramerets in Config . It works as expected on IOS but not in Android . Am i missing something here ? On Android the location popup is displayed on every open . I only want to ask for background location for first time .

locationAuthorizationRequest: 'Always', disableLocationAuthorizationAlert: true,
