Please check the following before submitting a new issue.

• [X] I have searched the existing issues.
• [X] I have carefully read the documentation and verified I have added the required platform specific configuration.

Please select affected platform(s)

• [ ] Android
• [X] iOS
• [ ] Linux
• [X] macOS
• [ ] Web
• [ ] Windows

Steps to reproduce

• Grant permissions to Safari within the Settings app
  • Mac OS: System Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services (ON) > Safari (ON)
  • (iOS): Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Safari > While Using the App
• Execute your Flutter web in Safari
• Within your code, add some workflow that will trigger the following workflow:

...
var currentPermission = await Geolocator.checkPermission();
if (!isLocationPermissionGranted(currentPermission)) {
  await Geolocator.requestPermission();   /// Grant while-in-use
}
currentPermission = await Geolocator.checkPermission();
assert(currentPermission, LocationPermission.whileInUse);
...

Tested in:

• Safari desktop 17.1.2
• geolocator plugin v10.1.0

Expected results

The assertion should pass in all supported platforms.

Actual results

This fails in Safari (desktop and mobile).
