The app does not request location services permission automatically so the user has to manually give the permission to the app. This isn't mentioned in the README.md either. Adding a plant when location services permission is denied just shows the message "Please enable location services". Instructions on how to do request permissions are here.

Pre-issue checklist

• Made sure software is up to date.
