[Bug 1488795] [NEW] Still getting cached last location even if the permission is denied in system settings after the application started

 

Public bug reported:

With OTA5. Note that I don't know if the caching is done in location-
service or is due to PositionSource Qt components.

1. Starts an application with location capability, accept the location permission
-> You have some console.log() callback on position changed
2. Without closing the app, go to system settings and disable location permission for that app
3. Put back your application in focus
-> You will still see regular (at updateInterval refresh) console.log() callback onPositionChanged, firing the same QGeoCoordinate than the last known one.

I guess it should send QGeoCoordinate(nan, nan, nan) (and should set the
Error parameter) as when we can't theorically get the current position
anymore.

snippet:

import QtPositioning 5.2
import QtLocation 5.3

PositionSource {
    active: true
    updateInterval: 120000 // 2 mins
    onPositionChanged: {
        console.log("coordinates " + positionSource.position.coordinate);
    }
}
