Yes, it think that is normal when permissions are denied on apps.

If you need the permission you should use the Event handler block to check if permission has been granted or not then ask for the permission again. Otherwise you can also show a dialog telling the user the permissions is important to proceed if it was denied.

If a permission is denied, you can always check e.g. in the Screen.Initialize event if the permission is granted, else request it again. If the app is open and permission is denied, you need a Clock to permanently check when the permission is denied.

Did you check the Do not ask again option? See the answer from Gemini below

Yes, it is possible in Android to ask for location permission again after a user has denied it.

Requesting Permission After Denial
When a user initially denies a permission request, you can generally show the permission dialog again. However, if the user checks the ā€˜Donā€™t ask againā€™ option and denies the permission, your app cannot programmatically show the permission dialog again. In this case, the user must go to the appā€™s settings to grant the permission manually.

Best Practices for Re-Requesting Permission
Instead of simply re-displaying the permission dialog, which can be frustrating for users, a better approach is to provide a rationale. This is an educational and user-friendly way to explain why your app needs the location permission. You should only show this rationale to users who have previously denied the permission.

  • Check the permission status: Before requesting permission, use shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale() to see if you should display a rationale. This method returns true if the user has previously denied the request but did not select ā€œDonā€™t ask again.ā€

  • Display a rationale: If shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale() returns true, show a dialog or a snackbar explaining why your app needs the permission to function. This gives the user context and a chance to reconsider.

  • Request permission again: If the user agrees to your rationale, you can then call requestPermissions() to show the system permission dialog once more.

Handling ā€œDonā€™t Ask Againā€
If the user has denied the permission with the ā€œDonā€™t ask againā€ option, shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale() will return false. When this happens, you should guide the user to the appā€™s settings. You can do this by displaying a dialog that explains the situation and includes a button that takes them directly to the appā€™s permission settings page. This is the only way for the user to grant the permission at this point.
