Steps to reproduce

When calling await Permission.locationAlways.request() system dialog is shown but lib is not waiting for a selection, instead it just returns .denied.

Expected results

To wait for a selection in location permission system dialog.

Actual results

PermissionStatus.denied is returned right away.

Code sample

Code sample

import 'dart:async';
import 'package:permission_handler/permission_handler.dart';
import 'package:vegetation_manager/common/helper/location_permission_manager.dart';

final class LocationPermissionManagerImpl implements LocationPermissionManager {
  @override
  Future<bool> isLocationAlwaysAllowed() async {
    var locationAlwaysStatus = await Permission.locationAlways.status;

    if (!locationAlwaysStatus.isGranted) {
      final whenInUseStatus = await Permission.locationWhenInUse.request();

      if (whenInUseStatus.isGranted) {
        // Not waiting for user to choose option in dialog, instead returning .denied right away
        locationAlwaysStatus = await Permission.locationAlways.request();
        return locationAlwaysStatus.isGranted;
      }
      return false;
    }
    return true;
  }
}

I run into the same error -- same parameters.

I got the same error

Did someone find any solutions?

I have made a timer to check for Permission.locationAlways.status every second until it is granted. It's not pretty but it works with some edge cases.

What if user deny the permission?

I'm waiting for 30 seconds, if it's not granted in that period I assume it's denied.

@v1n4ester This is not optimal, as you also said. The location and locationWhenInSure both work, so the locationAlways should work by extension. It's therefore a bug that should be addressed via either a PR or by the community maintaining the plugin.

any updates? I would imagine this is high priority for many devs
