Permission handling
Important
Always call RequestAccessAsync before attempting to use location services. The request must be made from the UI thread while your app is in the foreground.
Status meanings and responses
Allowed: Your app has permission to access location data. You can proceed with location operations.Denied: The user has denied location access or location is disabled by system policy. Guide users to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location to enable access if appropriate for your app's functionality.Unspecified: Permission request failed due to an error condition. This may occur if the request wasn't made from the UI thread or if the app wasn't in the foreground.
Note
Permission status can change after your app has started. Monitor StatusChanged events to detect when location access is revoked or restored.
