What do you require assistance about?
When BackgroundGeolocation.start() is called, the motion permission prompt appears first. A few seconds later, the background location permission prompt is shown, causing them to overlap. Regardless of whether the user selects 'Allow' or 'Don’t Allow' for motion permission, the app redirects to the Settings screen. After returning from Settings, the background location permission dialog is still displayed, creating a confusing and potentially buggy experience.
