Description
Problem:
The first time the app asks for notification permission, the GPS freezes when tracking position.
To reproduce:
- Find a project with enabled position tracking (https://app.dev.merginmaps.com/projects/tester-ws-1/tc04_tracking/tree)
- Start tracking
- If it is the first time the app asks you for notification permission, your position doesn't update after you allow the notification.
