Alright, thanks for the testing. Sounds like the patch supposed to fix
it doesn't work as intended there. I don't have more cycles to spent on
investigating the issue more at the moment so I'm going to set it back
to triaged and unassign myself, with some luck someone can help sorting
it out.

Title:
Location services work with location services off, 20.04
Status in geoclue-2.0 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in geoclue-2.0 source package in Focal:
Triaged
Status in geoclue-2.0 source package in Groovy:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
* Impact
Disabling the location service in settings isn't reflection on
traditional deb applications
* Test case
- Log in an Ubuntu desktop session
- install geoclue-2-demo
- go to gnome-control-center, privacy, location and ensure the service is
disabled
- $ /usr/libexec/geoclue-2.0/demos/where-am-i
the script should return a permission error and not a location
* Regression potential
[racb] Users who are currently relying on a working location service
despite having a setting disabling it will find that the location
service will stop working because the setting will start to be
honoured.
The change is in the client library, try a few applications, deb and
snap or flatpak and make sure the status is correct respected
-----------------------------
Not sure if this is the right package, but in the privacy -> location
settings, in 18.04 I had to have my application be approved by user to
access location with Geoclue. Now it seems this is working without the
location services "enabled"??
My application is repeater-START: https://sourceforge.net/projects
/repeater-start/
Steps to see issue:
1) install Repeater-START and click the locate me button circle to the left.
It goes to your rough location on map.
2) Go to settings, privacy, location, note that location is turned
off!?
