Your question

I don’t know why the “during app use” permission keeps accessing location data.

If you adjust the permanent permissions, the positioning data will not be refreshed all the time.

main.dart

void startPositionStream() {
    if (positionStreamSubscription == null) {
      final positionStream = geolocatorPlatform.getPositionStream(
        locationSettings: Platform.isAndroid
            ? AndroidSettings(
                accuracy: LocationAccuracy.medium,
                distanceFilter: 500,
                forceLocationManager: false,
                intervalDuration: const Duration(minutes: 5),
                //(Optional) Set foreground notification config to keep the app alive
                //when going to the background
