@Newshound, @UserCustomerGwen,
Updated the app. Turning on location services to “Ask Next Time” renders the pop-up asking (“Allow While Using App”, “Allow Once”, or “Don’t Allow”), so I’d say it is working. Leaving it in “While Using…”, or “Always” does not trigger the pop-up (which makes total sense).
However, leaving location services in “Never” does NOT trigger the pop-up asking for access. This tested several times after closing app before next test. It might be by design, but if set to “never”, then it’d be good to have a note (in the screen I shared above) that indicates something like “App needs access to location services in order for Network name to populate”.
That said, seems like typing in the network name (SSID) and password does work now as well (in case someone will not allow app to access location services services).
Bottom line, I guess I stumbled over something that was just happened to be in between app versions and in conjunction with iOS13.
