In MapView I set ShowMyLocationButton to true, but that button is not visible.

Check that your application grants the required permissions. This feature depends on a permission.

Can you explain (please) which permission on iOS is needed to make the ShowMyLocation Button visible?

I have the following code and it does not show the location button, the user’s location or the compass…? I am previewing on an iPhone 7 Plus.

```auto
<MapView ShowMyLocation="True" ShowMyLocationButton="true" ShowCompass="True" Latitude="{currentLocation.coords.lat}" Longitude="{currentLocation.coords.lng}" Zoom="16">
    <Each Items="{locations}">
        <MapMarker Latitude="{coords.lat}" Longitude="{coords.lng}" Label="{name}"/>
    </Each>
</MapView>

```

Hey guys, yeah, which permission/capability must we set?

I have given my app the permission to use the users current location already.

This works on android, just iOS not working, tested on iOS 10 (iPhone 5) & 11 (iPhone 6).

Is this a bug? ~ [https://github.com/fusetools/fuselibs-public/issues/755](https://github.com/fusetools/fuselibs-public/issues/755)
