Can't read user location from widgets in a macOS Catalyst app

NSWidgetWantsLocation in the widget extension is set to true
All location usage descriptions are set

After I grant user location access on the main app, if I try to add a location-aware widget in Notification Center I never get asked for widget location usage. Doing the same steps on iOS works as expected.

During the execution of the widget extension, CLLocationManagerDelegate's didUpdateLocations method never gets called. I just receive a didChangeAuthorization with the authorized status.

What am I doing wrong? Are location aware widgets even a thing on macOS?

I think this is a Catalyst bug, as I'm also encountering this same situation: didUpdateLocations is never called. Here I'm using it inside the main app, so I don't think it has something to do with Widgets.
