Are location permissions for widget by-default the same as location permissions for the main app?

Ex - if a user agrees to sharing their location on the app, and hasn't changed the permissions specifically for the widget. Would that mean the widget has access to their location too?

On the latest beta5 version, the behavior I see is that even if you give permission for the app to use location services, when you go to the widget gallery to select your widget it pops up another permission box asking if you want to allow/deny location services in the widget.

So looks like giving permission in the app does not automatically give permission to the widget.

However, this might be a bug, if I turn off permission for the widget in the settings -> privacy section, when calling locationManager.authorizationStatus property it will return I have permission but calling the location APIs just returns an error.
