React-native-permissions: Permission.request() doesn't prompt the user if the Location Service is turned off

[decodez]

If the user turned off the location services, Permission.request() doesn't prompt the user to turn it on. How do we handle this situation

I have same situation in simulator.

Perrmission.request() //  returns false and does not open any dialog

However openSetting is working correctly
I have tested on IPhone6s simulator

Not sure why this is an open issue still, this is the expected behavior.

You should check if the status is either undetermined or denied. If it's denied, you should show the user steps on how to manually re-enable and offer a link to the settings section.

@lfkwtz unfortunately when GPS is off it returns authorized

I am closing this since this issue does not exists anymore with the 2.0.0 release.
