Platform(s)

• iOS
• I am unable to confirm or deny if it occurs on Android

Current Behavior

• If the device has ‘Location Services’ disabled within Settings
• And you request requestPermissions() and/or checkPermissions()
• It will throw an error

Expected Behavior

• I would expect it to return a PermissionStatus of ‘denied’
• I would not expect it to throw an error and have to handle it differently.
• Error message returned is {message: “Location services are not enabled”, errorMessage: “Location services are not enabled”}

Code Reproduction

• Call either methods below while running on a real world iOS device
• It occurs regardless of destructuring the assignment or not
• const { location } = await Geolocation.checkPermissions();
• const { location } = await Geolocation.requestPermissions({ permissions: [‘location’] }); OR
• await Geolocation.checkPermissions();
• await Geolocation.requestPermissions();

Additional Context

[meerns]

I have to open the location setting manually and show it to the user to enable it, it won’t show the GPS popup

catch (error) { if (error.message === 'location disabled') { return NativeSettings.open({ optionAndroid: AndroidSettings.Location, optionIOS: IOSSettings.LocationServices, }); } }
