currentLocationAccuracy always null in 2.4.6 simulator

Hi,

Noticed with the 2.4.6 simulator, on Data Fields, the currentLocationAccuracy always reports null irrespective of that is chosen under the 'Set GPS Quality' menu.

Thanks
Chris

Maybe try adding the positioning permission to your data field, as it could be related to this.

chrishares In 2.4.6, currentLocationAccuracy requires the Position permission to be set, like Jim has suggested. If that permission is not enabled, it currently returns null. (This is a bug--it should be returning 0 to indicate QUALITY_NOT_AVAILABLE. We'll have a fix for this in the next SDK release)

Thanks. Must be a recent change, as it’s a 2 year old App!

Yes. This was a change required for GDPR compliance. It was mentioned on the developers blog and in the release notes section of the readme for the 2.4.6 SDK:

Restrict Acitivy.Info device location to require the positioning permission.
