Permission location Android Xamarin

Question

Hello I have the following code to ask location on runtime for a Xamarin forms (Android)

var status = await CrossPermissions.Current.CheckPermissionStatusAsync<LocationPermission>();
        if (status != PermissionStatus.Granted)
        {
            if (await CrossPermissions.Current.ShouldShowRequestPermissionRationaleAsync(Permission.Location))
            {
             await   Application.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("Need location", "Gunna need that location", "OK");
            }

            status = await CrossPermissions.Current.RequestPermissionAsync<LocationPermission>();
        }

But after the request alert pops up, the app gets stuck and I need restart it. after that works normally and don't ask for the permission again. I have added to the manifest btw thx in advance

Did you add the necessary code to your Activity's OnRequestPermissionsResult method?

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Try to change the code in OnRequestPermissionsResult method .

From

Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.OnRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);

to

PermissionsImplementation.Current.OnRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);

And you have to install Plugin.Permissions package first .
