Test Android Location Permission Flows

Mock coordinates are useful only after the test app has the permissions required for the scenario. Separate permission-state testing from route testing so failures are easier to diagnose.

Create a permission matrix

• Never asked.
• Allowed only while using the app.
• Approximate location allowed.
• Precise location allowed.
• Background access allowed or denied where applicable.

Run each state cleanly

• Reset the app permission before each case.
• Open the app and follow the expected prompt path.
• Start a known FlashGo point only after the permission decision.
• Verify the UI, analytics event and recovery path.

Avoid false conclusions

If a map stays blank, confirm network and map loading separately. If the blue dot is missing, check permission and location services before changing the mock provider.
