Determine if GPS is allowed about react-native-background-geolocation HOT 14 CLOSED

^^ For me, that is definitely the case. Location services. Although to achieve this I ended up using this:
https://github.com/joshblour/react-native-permissions

from react-native-background-geolocation.

If they were available, what would you want to do with them?

Something like CLLocationManager/locationServicesEnabled
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/CoreLocation/Reference/CLLocationManager_Class/#//apple_ref/occ/clm/CLLocationManager/locationServicesEnabled
and CLLocationManager/authorizationStatus
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/CoreLocation/Reference/CLLocationManager_Class/#//apple_ref/occ/clm/CLLocationManager/authorizationStatus
?

I have an app where the user starts and stops tracking explicitly. I want to give the user feedback on the availability of the GPS status as soon as they enter the app (ie. before they try to start tracking).

Ok, those look easy enough to implement.

What do you hope to did with this information? Why GPS specifically? This
isn't even possible on iOS. I wonder if you're misusing the word "GPS"
instead of "location services"?

Basically, I wanted some user feedback in case they accidentally denied permissions..I have already seen a few users do this and wonder why the app wasn't recording location 😭

Just listen to the plugin's location errorCallback. You're provided an
error code, one of which means "location access denied"

Lets say we get an error code back of 1, we know that permission is denied, and we change some state that identifies that the users permission is denied. Once the user changes their permissions to allow access...how would you recommend accessing that?

My thoughts are:
Change the permission state to false on error code 1.
If the current state is false, and we get a positive location change to true.

Seems basic enough, my only thoughts here are that we may not get a user location if they are stationary.

This is implemented now by listening to providerchange event.
