Location permission level has no effect on checking or requesting permissions. about flutter-permission-plugins HOT 3 CLOSED

Other questions?

a) how to know if the user granted permission for ALWAYS or ONLY WHEN IN USE.

b) what is the difference, in the example, of the results from LocationPermissions().checkPermissionStatus() and the await LocationPermissions() .requestPermissions(permissionLevel: permissionLevel). It seems that the results are inconsistent between these two calls. As they should have the same results (after the user has permanently granted or not the permissions).

@mlemos thank you very much for thanking the time and write this great and detailed bug report. It is really appreciated.

I have just released a hotfix (version 3.0.0+1) which (thanks to @filipproch) includes a fix for this issue. It also includes a fix for iOS which showed similar behavior (requesting "when-in-use" permissions also resulted in the plugin falsely reporting "always" permission were granted).

Regarding you other questions:

a) With this hotfix the plugin will now take the supplied PermissionLevel into consideration. So if you want to only request "when-in-use" permissions, you can call await LoctionPermissions().requestPermissions(permissionLevel: PermissionLevel.locationWhenInUse).

b) The checkPermissionStatus method is meant to only check if permissions are currently granted. The requestPermissions method is meant to really ask the user for permissions (if not yet permanently denied or granted).

Hope this helps. I will close the issue for now but please feel free to let me know if you have questions or if the problem still remains.

Hi @mvanbeusekom

I followed all steps above, updated to the latest version, and I still have an issue with the checkPermissionStatus on Android when the user selects "Allow only while using the app".
Basically, when the prompt appears in Android:

• If the user click in "Allow all the time", the Permission Status becomes "granted" (which is fine)
• If the user clicks in "Deny", the status becomes "denied", (also fine)
• If the user clicks in "Allow only while using the app", the status becomes "denied" (here is the problem)

On IOS all good.
