hasPermission and requestPermission returns different values

[KirillArtemenko]

On iOS after deny.

final hasPermission = await location.hasPermission();
// hasPermission == PermissionStatus.denied

final requestPermission = await location.requestPermission();
// requestPermission == PermissionStatus.deniedForever

hasPermission != requestPermission

Expected behavior
Method hasPermission must return PermissionStatus.deniedForever.
The order and numbers of method calls does not affect the result.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Request permissions
2. Deny
3. Run this methods
4. See different PermissionStatus

Tested on:

• iOS, Version 15.5 real device

Hey,
Thanks for the report. Which version of Location are you using?

[KirillArtemenko]

I found it on location version 4.4.0 and after updating on 5.0.0-dev.7 same result.
I assume that on earlier versions too.

I'm seeing the same on 4.4.0, iOS, physical device - would be great to have this fixed so I can display the proper UI to my users - I don't want to request permission until the users asks me to which makes me need an additional user action to discover that the permission is deniedForever.

After investigation, on Android you need to make a first request for permission in order to determine the status.
I might change denied to underterminedOrDenied.

On iOS can't definitely be fixed 👍 I'll have a look now

I've published a new version of location 5, let me know if it's fixed for you :)
https://pub.dev/packages/location/versions/5.0.0-dev.8

I'm getting the same result, but hasPermission always returns denied, and requestPermission returns deniedForever, even though I gave permission, and I've tried this 5.0.0-dev.8 but the app opens for a sec and just crashes. so any workaround with the stable version to get it working right?

I still have this problem
