Description

Problem:
The first time the app asks for notification permission, the GPS freezes when tracking position.

To reproduce:

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

Research direction

Reproduce the issue using the linked Mergin Maps project, with position tracking enabled, and trigger the first notification-permission request while tracking. Trace the position-tracking and notification-permission flow, then verify that location updates continue after permission is granted.
