Andriod 12 requesting coarse permission requests fine permission automatically

[Matzielab]

Bug summary

Android 12 comes with approximate location option when asking for fine permission, this sets the coarse location permission flag. You can ask for only approximate location by requesting coarse location permission but when trying this it shows the popover and then calls for fine permisson and a "switch to fine location" popover is shown. If fine location switch is denied its shown again for a total of 2 times and then it doesnt show. coarse location permisson flag is set correctly

Library version

3.1.0

Did you set ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION in your AndroidManifest.xml?

[Matzielab]

Yess, both fine and coarse are in the manifest. At first we only want to access coarse location and when needed convert it to fine location

Are you sure this is an issue with the library and not Android 12 directly? I found a lot of occurence of ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION in their issue tracker 😕 https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION

Closing this since I couldn't reproduce it, and nobody came with a similar issue.
