What is the recommended way to ask for a person's location? The documentation seems to be incomplete.

Previously, you would use user-profile-access but that has been deprecated. Yet, the documentation for device-location-access states 'This is a beta feature and doesn't yet have documentation'

When using device-location-access...the simulator (and device) still ask for the contacts as if I'm using the deprecated 'user-profile-access' permission. Here are the current settings.

capsule.bxb

permissions {
    device-location-access
  }

capsule-info.bxb

requested-permissions {
    permission (device-location-access) {
      justification (Access your location to provide local deals)
    }
  }

At the moment, user-profile-access is the only way to get this information.

device-location-access is expected to be available soon (probably as early as next week) at which point that will be the recommended way to get the user's location.
