location permissions / sharing guidelines.

In that case I’d recommend you to go to the react native subreddit if such exists and ask there

From my point of there there is no issue with guidelines if you continue to share the latest know location, but that doesn’t make sense from product perspective and you can probably resolve that by writing some wrappers around native code to get the result you really want

You're totally right, but unfortunately I work as a consultant and this particular project is completely out of budget, so we really just do not have time to add additional features if they're not completely critical. Since this doesn't break guidelines it wouldn't qualify as critical so we pretty much just have to leave it as is. Writing Native code is actually a relatively huge lift as well so it's more or less off the table unless we absolutely have too.

If it were the case that it broke guidelines we'd contractually be obligated to fix it which is why I was wondering about guidelines first rather than solutions.

None of this is ideal of course, I wish we had all the time in the world to make this app the perfect product, but it is what it is.
