Add Geolocation

Internal helper for `/add-native geolocation`, `/add-native location-tracking`, `/add-native background-location`, `/add-native gps-tracking`, and `/add-native @microsoft/power-apps-native-bglocation`.

Use this only for continuous/background GPS tracking with native durable storage and inline Dataverse upload. For a single foreground coordinate read, use `/add-native location` (`expo-location`) instead.

Hard rules:

• Auth is MSAL-only. Do not expose OneAuth or an auth selector.
• Use `geoService(dataSource, app_id)` and `BgLocationClient`.
• Do not use `GeolocationExtension`, HostingSDK, PCF, Launch URI, or CordovaV2 bridge paths.
• Do not install packages or edit native config.
• The control is not usable until its Dataverse target table and mapped columns are verified.

1. Verify app and package

test -f app.config.js && test -f power.config.json && test -f package.json && test -d src
node -e "const p=require('./package.json'); const m='@microsoft/power-apps-native-bglocation'; if (!p.dependencies?.[m]) { console.error('MISSING: ' + m); process.exit(1); } console.log('OK: geolocation package present');"

If either check fails, stop. The template/app must already ship the native package.

2. Verify the Dataverse target table first

This control uses the package default Dataverse entity set:

msdyn_locationrecords

Do not ask the user for a table name and do not invent a custom table. `msdyn_locationrecords` must already exist before the control can be used.

ENV_JSON=$(node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/resolve-environment.js" "$(node -e "console.log(require('./power.config.json').environmentId)")")
ENV_URL=$(node -e "const j=JSON.parse(process.argv[1]); process.stdout.write(j.environmentUrl || '')" "$ENV_JSON")

TABLE="msdyn_locationrecords"
node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/dataverse-request.js" "$ENV_URL" GET \
  "EntityDefinitions?\$filter=EntitySetName eq '$TABLE'&\$select=LogicalName,EntitySetName"

Required result:

• One row returned: capture `LogicalName` and verify columns.
• Empty `value: []`: stop. Mark `BLOCKED (target table missing)`. Do not create the table, do not route to `/add-dataverse`, and do not report the control as usable. Tell the user to run the geolocation-control table provisioning/setup mechanism, then re-run `/add-native geolocation`.
• Auth/environment error: stop. Mark `UNVERIFIED (target table not checked)`. Do not report the control as usable.

When the table exists, verify every mapped column exists:

node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/dataverse-request.js" "$ENV_URL" GET \
  "EntityDefinitions(LogicalName='<logicalName>')/Attributes?\$select=LogicalName,AttributeType"

Required default `fieldMap` columns from the package README:

msdyn_locationrecordid, msdyn_appid, msdyn_latitude, msdyn_longitude,
msdyn_altitude, msdyn_accuracy, msdyn_heading, msdyn_speed, msdyn_timestamp

If any active `fieldMap` column is missing, stop. Mark `BLOCKED (target columns missing)` and tell the user to fix the control table through the geolocation-control table provisioning/setup mechanism.

3. Write `src/native/geolocation.ts`

Create or patch `src/native/geolocation.ts` so screens import this wrapper, not the package directly.

The target config must require the README's two tracking flags:

• `trackInBackground: boolean`
• `persistAcrossRestarts: boolean`
