VICTORY!
$ devel-su
# appsupport-attach sh
:/ pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.COARSE_LOCATION
:/ ... .FINE_LOCATION
:/ ... .ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION"
Then I restarted App Support: and boom! Bolt app now instantly triggered location icon, added compass shadow on location dot, and got a lock in a few seconds (I’m suplpatched).
I’m not 100% sure whether all 3 permission grants are necessary, but it’s late, and I’ll figure out the details in the coming days - or maybe someone else here will beat me to it.
It’s beautiful: all location-usage apps work great - Foreca for weather, supermarket shopping carts, navigation, etc.
How exactly does Here Maps access Location differently than some other apps, like Bolt etc, so it triggers Location icon at SFOS level?
It’s likely then they implement their own location stack, instead of using Google Play services?
