@mockturtl this is expected behaviour and only occurs when your "Info.plist" doesn't include the correct permissions.

In this case you are actively requesting "locationAlways" permissions while the permissions in your "Info.plist" only contain the NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription key.

You have two solutions here:

1. Don't request "locationAlways" permissions (e.g. switch to "locationWhenInUse");
2. Or add the missing permissions to your "Info.plist";

Hope this helped solve your issue.

@mvanbeusekom Thank you for the reply and the workaround. I did discover both your suggestions through trial and error, and they solved it, but it was a little frustrating.

In this case you are actively requesting "locationAlways" permissions

That's confusing, to me. I call the API with the default value for the optional parameter, LocationPermissionLevel.location. To me, that means I am actively not requesting a different value.

enum LocationPermissionLevel {
  location,  // is this Android only?  What does it mean in Android 10?
  locationWhenInUse,
  locationAlways,
}

Please reconsider documenting this behavior, or the intended usage -- judging by the upvotes, it could be a little more clear.
