Hi, we have an app that handles kind of time reporting when at a certain location, and therefor always need precise. The user can click a button to check in/out, but we also have feature that used background location and geofences so that the user can automatically be checked in/out when arriving and leaving a location. When the button is pressed first time we ask for "in use", when the user turns on the feature we ask for "always".
The ios13 "provisional" state was therefor pretty detrimental to us since the user might go in an turn it on, expecting it to work, and then leaving work 30 mins later not be automatically checked out. We had to add large banners telling them to go in to settings if they wanted it to work right away...
Now from the session, it was mentioned that you changed this in 13.4. However, it was not clear to me exactly when it applied. Our users most often clicks the button first, and then discovers the auto-feature later, but SOME might turn on the feature right away (especially on re-installs). In those cases we will ask for "always" before "in use".
In these cases, will it work like before, i.e. we will end up in the "provisional state" like prior to 13.4, just because the user asked for always before in use?
