The Bug came back with the 3.30 Firmware on Vivoactive 3 (and more). Now all custom apps without the GPS permission, record the location, again.
But, in compensation, it does not record the Connect IQ custom fields, any more...

HerrRiebmann,
I've reproduced the issue you described here. It's a little different than the one reported. I'm going to move this to another thread so we can better track it. I've pushed a ticket to the VA3 team.
Any Update on this? This is very, very bad using apps at home, where you don´t want to publish your exact location (I know, I can make everything around me private, but due to the small radius, this would be any activity). And I expect it is even worse, that the manifest-file means nothing and compiled apps are capable of doing things, which the user is not aware of. Does not seem to be a problem to Garmin :rolleyes:
There have been 3 Updates since this occurred, where one deactivated GPS in any custom app and the next one, introduced the bug again.
Looks like we have a fix for this that's been verified, but it hasn't made it into a public release yet. I'd expect to see this in the next public release.
