On iOS with Allow once permission the permission is asked again without calling again the getCurrentPosition function

[tujlaky]

Bug Report

On iOS when the user selects the Allow once permission on getCurrentPosition after a timeout the app is asking again for the location permissions.

Problem

The permission is asked again from the user without user interaction.

What is expected to happen?

The plugin should not ask for permission again.

What does actually happen?

On iOS the didChangeAuthorizationStatus event is triggered after the requested permission is removed by apple. This event restarts the whole flow.

Information

Command or Code

Just call the navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition and when asked for permission select allow once. Put the app in the background and wait around 3-5 minutes. After the app is reopened there is a new permission request.

I think a check for the previous status could fix this issue:

//iOS8+
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didChangeAuthorizationStatus:(CLAuthorizationStatus)status
{
    if (__prevStatus != kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined && status == kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined) {
        __prevStatus = status;
        return;
    }
    
    __prevStatus = status;
    
    if(!__locationStarted){
        [self startLocation:__highAccuracyEnabled];
    }
}
