Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::System, defect)

Description

[Tony Chung [:tchung]]

Attachment: logcat

The Geolocation icon continues to appear in the homescreen status bar, despite "denying" usage of it when launching the camera app.   The geo Status icon should not even be shown if camera app is not asking for it.


See screencast for behavior:  http://youtu.be/UkE9OEVtIPY

ALso, logcat attached.

Repro:
1) install 2.0 nightly on Flame

2) launch camera app, and "Uncheck" option to use Geolocation
3) click "Share" to save the setting
4) Take a picture.   You can launch EXIF viewer later to verify that picture doesnt have geolocation coordinates
5) close the camera app and go to homescreen
6) Watch the status bar at the top.  Verify the geolocation icon is visible, then slowly animates and disappears.

Expected:
- since Geolocation was not granted for the camera app, i should not expect the geolocation icon to even appear on the status bar.

ActuaL:
- Geolocation icon appears in status bar, despite disallowing the permission to use it.

I can't reproduce this issue electing "Don't Share" option.  The STRs in Comment 0 and in the video don't match the expected results.  No Geolocation icon is being shown in status bar after choosing not to share geolocation with the Camera App and taking a picture.

I know what happened here.

Tony - You disabled remember my choice, but did still share geolocation with the camera app. That means geolocation would be shared with the camera app, which would result in the geolocation icon showing in the status bar. Disabling remember my choice just means that if I launch the camera app again that is currently not running in the background, then I'll get a geolocation prompt again & not have the decision I made previously remembered.
