Android - Geofence permission clarification

[Dipannita20]

Hi,

On Android 12 geofence registered successfully and location permission set to Allow All. But still geofence updates not triggering sometimes.

Are these below two permission required for geofence. https://github.com/shinyorg/samples/blob/main/Locations-Geofencing/Sample.Android/Properties/AndroidManifest.xml.

	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.START_FOREGROUND_SERVICES_FROM_BACKGROUND" />
	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />

I have below permissions added and it used to work
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION" />

Thanks in Advanced

No those permissions are not required for the standard geofencing. They are required if you are using the Gps/Geofence hybrid mechanism
