Description
As part of TIMOB-19479 the Gelocation permissions was rewritten to be consistent across iOS and Android and use Ti.Geolocation.hasPermissions. Windows currently uses a different way to request permissions that can be seen in TIMOB-23389, however it should move to match iOS and Android. A code sample can be found below and a real world example found [in Geocoder](
https://github.com/appcelerator-developer-relations/appc-sample-geocoder/blob/stable/app/lib/permissions.js#L59)
Ti.Geolocation.preferredProvider = "gps";
function locationCallback(e) {
if (!e.success || e.error) {
alert("error:" + JSON.stringify(e.error));
return;
}
Ti.API.info(JSON.stringify(e));
var longitude = e.coords.longitude;
var latitude = e.coords.latitude;
};
if (Ti.Geolocation.hasLocationPermissions(Ti.Geolocation.AUTHORIZATION_ALWAYS)) {
alert("Access already granted!");
Titanium.Geolocation.addEventListener("location", locationCallback);
} else {
Ti.Geolocation.requestLocationPermissions(Ti.Geolocation.AUTHORIZATION_ALWAYS, function(e) {
if (e.success === true) {
alert("Access now granted!");
Titanium.Geolocation.addEventListener("location", locationCallback);
} else {
console.log("Access denied, error: " + e.error);
}
});
}
Additionally to this Ti.Geolocation.hasLocationPermissions should also be implemented to allow a user to check if permissions have already been granted
Steps to reproduce
Run the code above on Windows Platform appc run -p windows
Actual result
You should be prompted to allow location
Expected result
The app will throw an error as the methods are not implemented

It looks like my callback that is passed to
requestLocationPermissionsis called immediately rather than when I allow/reject access as I would expect. When I click yes or no on the prompt my app then crashes * On subsequent launches my app crashes on launch I see similar behavior when using the example in the PR. I have tried manually adding the location capability myself but this does not fix the issueI was able to reproduce it. I saw callback is fired twice (before & after the prompt) and then crashed. Started looking into it.
