Hello,

After my testing, the method if (status != PermissionStatus.Granted) after clicking on deny overrides the method in if (Permissions.ShouldShowRationale<Permissions.LocationWhenInUse>()).

For requesting Location permissions, there are out-of-the-box examples in the official example, please refer to the documentation and code snippets:

• Example.

public async Task<PermissionStatus> CheckAndRequestLocationPermission()
{
    PermissionStatus status = await Permissions.CheckStatusAsync<Permissions.LocationWhenInUse>();
   if (status == PermissionStatus.Granted)
        return status;
   if (status == PermissionStatus.Denied && DeviceInfo.Platform == DevicePlatform.iOS)
    {
        // Prompt the user to turn on in settings
        // On iOS once a permission has been denied it may not be requested again from the application
        return status;
    }
   if (Permissions.ShouldShowRationale<Permissions.LocationWhenInUse>())
    {
        // Prompt the user with additional information as to why the permission is needed
        await Shell.Current.DisplayAlert("Needs permissions", "BECAUSE!!!", "OK");
    }
   status = await Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.LocationWhenInUse>();
   return status;
}
