[Bug]: The SDK is constantly using the location when the user permits the App to use location 'Always'
Mapbox Implementation
Mapbox
Mapbox Version
10.7.0
Platform
iOS
@rnmapbox/maps
version
rnmapbox/maps#main
Standalone component to reproduce
import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import {MapView, UserLocation} from '@rnmapbox/maps';
import {useIsFocused} from '@react-navigation/native';
import {connect} from 'react-redux';
const APP_STATE = {
active: 'active',
inactive: 'inactive',
background: 'background',
};
class Mapp extends React.Component {
_contidionallyRenderUserLocation = () => {
const {isFocused, appState} = this.props;
if (isFocused && APP_STATE.active === appState)
return (
<UserLocation
showsUserHeadingIndicator={true}
visible={true}
renderMode="native"
/>
);
};
render() {
return <MapView>{this._contidionallyRenderUserLocation()}</MapView>;
}
}
const EnhancedMapp = props => {
const isFocused = useIsFocused();
return <Mapp {...props} isFocused={isFocused} />;
};
const mapStateToProps = state => {
const {appSettings} = state;
return {
appState: appSettings.appState,
};
};
Mapp.propTypes = {
appState: PropTypes.string,
isFocused: PropTypes.boolean
}
export default connect(mapStateToProps, null)(EnhancedMapp);
appSettings is an event listener, basically this
import {AppState} from 'react-native';
...
const appStateSubscription = AppState.addEventListener(
'change',
nextAppState => {
if (
nextAppState === APP_STATE.active ||
nextAppState === APP_STATE.background
) {
store.dispatch(setAppState(nextAppState));
}
appState.current = nextAppState;
})
...
Observed behavior and steps to reproduce
When the user gives the app Location Permission - Always
the Maps SDK uses the location always, when the App is in the foreground (opened) or in the background (closed, but not terminated).
Expected behavior
I expect to be able to set a property that tells the SDK 'Use the location now' or 'Do not use the location when the App is in the background', 'Do not access the location, eventhough you have permission always' ... or something similiar.
Notes / preliminary analysis
This is a thing arising with React-Navigation
and Tab Navigator
. When using a Tab Navigator
, React Naigation
does not unmount a component once its mounted inside a Tab Navigator
. I though that <UserLocation />
is the component responsible for using the location all the time, so I tried to conditionally render it with isFocused = false
and appState === 'active'
. isFocused
becomes true
when the Tab Navigator
focussed on the map. appState === 'active
becomes true
when the app is in the foreground. However, even with the precautions on the <UserLocation/>
, the SDK always uses the location, doesnt really matter if the app is in the foreground or in the background, if the corresponding Tab in the Tab Navigator
is focussed or not. So I assume the <MapView>
is responsible for using the location always?
