Steps to reproduce

For the first time I call Geolocator.checkPermission() and it returns denied then I call Geolocator.requestPermission(). If the user pressed don't allow, requestPermission will return deniedForever. But the issue is when checking again with Geolocator.checkPermission() it returns denied and not deniedForever.

Expected results

Geolocator.checkPermission() should return deniedForever when the user had clicked don't allow before.

Actual results

denied instead of deniedForever

Code sample

Code Sample

        var status = await Geolocator.checkPermission();

        if (status == PermissionStatus.deniedForever) {
          return null;
        }

        if (status == PermissionStatus.denied) {
          await _showWhyWeNeedLocation();

          status = await Geolocator.requestPermission();
        }

        if (status == PermissionStatus.denied ||
            status == PermissionStatus.deniedForever) return null;

        var isLocationEnabled = await Geolocator.isLocationServiceEnabled();

        if (isLocationEnabled) return await Geolocator.getCurrentPosition();

        await _askToEnableLocation();
        await Geolocator.openLocationSettings()
        isLocationEnabled = await Geolocator.isLocationServiceEnabled();

        if (isLocationEnabled) {
          return await Geolocator.getCurrentPosition();;
        } else {
          return null;
        }

Hi, I can see that the issue you mentioned is closed. Does the solution applied to this package as well?

[JeroenWeener]

Hi @HasanAlqaisi, unfortunately not yet. I'd like to get to it but have other priorities at this moment. If anyone in the community wants to pick this up that would be awesome. A great starting point would be to look at Baseflow/flutter-permission-handler#1130.
