System
Android Version: 15
Custom ROM: ShiftOS-L 7.0 (16.09.2025) - based on LineageOS 22.1

microG
microG Core version: 0.3.10.250932
microG Self-Check results: All ticked but "microg Services Framework installed:" and "Permission to interact with work profile"

Additional context
The same App used to work on an older Android 10 device with the same ROM (older version) from the same manufacturer. I did not use microg for a while but it was with version 0.2.27.223616 before the location stack has been rewritten.

If I can provide logs of any kind that could be helpful please let me know.

Research direction

Start by reproducing Fairtiq 7.3.26 on Android 15 with microG Core 0.3.10.250932 and the reported ShiftOS-L environment, then collect relevant logs. There are no files or tests named in the issue; done means Fairtiq can obtain high-accuracy location after permissions are granted.
