Permission Denied returned when approximate location is selected

[kojini]

Description

I am developing a MAUI app for Android.
From API 31, when you request location permission, you can choose either approximate location or precise location. When approximate location is selected, await Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.LocationWhenInUse>(); returns PermissionStatus.Denied. I think it should return something else (maybe Restricted?), not Denied.

I found an issue describing the same issue in Xamarin repo: xamarin/Essentials#1912 and it seems to be fixed for Xamarin. I assume that it's not fixed in MAUI, but could anyone please confirm this is still an issue in MAUI?
I don't know if this is an Android specific issue.

Environment/Versions:
Visual Studio 17.4.0 Preview 1.0
Android 12 (API 31 and higher)

Steps to Reproduce

• Call await Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.LocationWhenInUse>();, which shows a popup asking whether you allow approximate location or precise location or not allow location at all.
• Select approximate location (doesn't matter whether you choose only this time or when app is in use)
• See the return value is PermissionStatus.Denied

I feel this issue should be attended to timely. I have a new project and I keep getting "Location services are not enabled on device." even after the user select location permission for now when prompted. Please help out
