Version 19.1 - Android 12 (Part 2) - Background Location
Recent restrictions by Google to the foreground location access API is requiring us to switch back to using background location for geolocated weather updates. All users with geolocated weather enabled will be prompted to turn on the 'Allow all the time' location permission or switch to using a custom location. This fixes the weather not updating automatically on Android 11 and 12.
