Android Location Issue

Hey! Really frustrating issue here, wonder if anyone else has experienced it. My app uses the users current geographic position. On iOS, no issue, the app asks for permission every time and (once user clicks ok), all is good. On Android it doesn’t ask for permission and permission is not granted and it messes up everything.

On both the Android and iPhone, the settings are ‘Allow location sharing while user is using the app’ or whatever the wording is.

HOWEVER - when I change Android to ‘Ask every time’, the user does get asked, and (if user accepts), everything works.

My fallback is a popup when the Android doesn’t have permission, popup tells user that they need to change settings to ask every time, but that is a really poor UX, amateur hour.

Anyone any clues?

Thanks,
Steve.

On which platform your Android app is built ?

Hi Siddharth,

It’s a bubble app, wrapped by BDK. Is that what you mean?

Cheers,
S.

Yes, that’s what I meant.

but sorry to say i don’t have experience of bdk but i easily go around with this situation as i use kodular.

Hey @stevoster
Did you end up finding a solution to this?

Hey! Not really, I have a popup that prompts users to share location settings if it is Android.
