Permissions in Background Tracking about react-native-background-geolocation HOT 5 CLOSED

Calling requestPermission() appears to only work once after the user makes their choice. After that he would have to manually go to the settings to activate the permissions again.

That’s correct. The OS gives you one shot to show the native permission dialog provided by the OS. The OS will not spam the user. If the user denies your request, it’s up to you to produce your own dialog and ask the user to “pretty please” enable desired permissions in your app Settings.

listen to .onProviderChange event to learn the current state of permissions.

So in this case, if there are changes in permissions with monitoring already active, onProviderChange will identify this change and in this case, if the permission is denied, could I call stop()?

Why don’t you try it and see?

Hi Chris, based on your experience with the plugin, if the user removes permissions when tracking is in progress in the background or with the application closed, it is better to call stop() to stop tracking or I can wait until it starts again location permissions? I'm worried if the connected plugin will consume battery even when it's without permissions.

Thanks!
