iOS system dialog asking "turn on location services" does not fire cordova pause or resume events about cordova-plugin-request-location-accuracy HOT 4 CLOSED

Unfortunately there's no way to create a callback since the native iOS system dialog doesn't provide any mechanism for this - we are limited by the functionality which Apple has deemed fit to give us.
The system dialog is actually indirectly invoked by requesting location updates via the native location manager service.

The best you can do is to set a timeout before invoking the system dialog which re-checks if Location Services is on via diagnostic.isLocationEnabled(). Also if you start receiving location updates, you'll know that Location Services has been switched on.

This is the expected behaviour on iOS. The system dialog is shown as a UIAlert window in the view hierarchy of the application which made the request, hence the application never gets paused or therefore resumed when the dialog is shown. Only if the user pressing the "Settings" button which opens the Settings app on the Location Services page does the app which requested the dialog get paused in the background.

Thanks for your fast reply. So can there be a callback when the user presses the 'Cancel' button? Otherwise the app has no way to know if anything happened effectively freezing it!

Ok, thanks for your great advice.
