User denied Geolocation - login process is stopped

Jaymer

As part of user login, I run some processes.
One of them gets the current location.
I am finding that if a user has location services blocked in Chrome,
they will get this error dialog and the login process is stopped.
Access to the app is denied.

This is in v8.8. Build 3128

Is anyone using MOBILE GET LOCATION INTO MGEOLOCATION in later versions?
Maybe this has been fixed ?

I was busy with this yesterday, would this not be a solution? :

Thanks, did this work for you?
Does it stay in the app and operate normally after the dialogue?
I’ll publish this tonight on app and see what it does.

UPDATE

Well, this isn't much better.
I get a nicer message, but it still stops the app cold...
leaving the user trying to figure out how to enable location services.
... which isn't particularly hard, but not everyone can do it.

I'd be ok moving forward and let the HR/IT dept. deal with it - some users won't have the MGeolocation data and it will stand out. But can't have the app be dead and people not allowed to work.

Easier on chrome, because the icon is right there in the URL bar, but I don't even know how to do it in Safari.
