add-geolocation

Shared instructions: shared-instructions.md - read first.

Working directory: before any project read or command, execute native-artifact-compatibility.md Step 0. Inherit /add-native's resolved absolute working_dir; bind every shell call and file tool to it, even when this helper starts from another directory.

Add Geolocation

Internal helper for /add-native geolocation, /add-native location-tracking, /add-native background-location, /add-native gps-tracking, and /add-native @microsoft/power-apps-native-bglocation.

Use this only for continuous/background GPS tracking with native durable storage and inline Dataverse upload. For a single foreground coordinate read, use /add-native location (expo-location) instead.

Hard rules:

• Auth is MSAL-only. Do not expose OneAuth or an auth selector.
• Use geoService(dataSource, app_id) and BgLocationClient.
• Do not use GeolocationExtension, HostingSDK, PCF, Launch URI, or CordovaV2 bridge paths.
• Do not install packages or edit native config.
• The control is not usable until its Dataverse target table and mapped columns are verified.

1. Verify app and package

cd -- '<working_dir>' || { echo "BLOCKED: cannot enter working_dir" >&2; exit 1; }
test -f app.config.js && test -f power.config.json && test -f package.json && test -d src || { echo "BLOCKED: working_dir is not an initialized app" >&2; exit 1; }
node -e "const p=require('./package.json'); const m='@microsoft/power-apps-native-bglocation'; if (!p.dependencies?.[m]) { console.error('MISSING: ' + m); process.exit(1); } console.log('OK: geolocation package present');"

If either check fails, stop. The template/app must already ship the native package.

2. Verify the Dataverse target table first

This control uses the package default Dataverse entity set:
