Hi subhashini@, did you reset the location before or after deleting the app?

Hi Liaoyuke,

I tried either ways, it shows location prompt after the location reset.

I wonder if this is a feature that iOS11 remembers your location choices.

stk@ can you take a look?  Marking as ReleaseBlock since it needs investigation incase it is covering a larger issue with location and privacy.

it seems like the iOS 11 location dialog decision persists between reinstalls, as per original bug description. 

I don't think I am the right owner and I'm not sure what needs to be done, if anything. 
justincohen@ please what's the status on this blocker? We aim to fix our blockers as early in the cycle as possible.

I doesn't look like there's anything to be done here.  iOS11 persists this now.
