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=$(node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../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 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../scripts/dataverse-request.js" "$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 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../scripts/dataverse-request.js" "$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

// src/native/geolocation.ts
import {
  geoService,
  BgLocationClient,
  AuthMethod,
  ConnectionType,
} from '@microsoft/power-apps-native-bglocation';
import type {
  DataverseDataSource,
  LocationData,
  PermissionStatus,
} from '@microsoft/power-apps-native-bglocation';

export type { LocationData, PermissionStatus } from '@microsoft/power-apps-native-bglocation';

export type GeoTrackingTarget = Omit<DataverseDataSource, 'authMethod' | 'connectionType'>;

export type GeoResult<T> =
  | { ok: true; value: T }
  | {
      ok: false;
      reason: 'NATIVE_MODULE_MISSING' | 'PERMISSION_DENIED' | 'TRACKING_FAILED';
      message?: string;
    };

let activeClient: BgLocationClient | null = null;

function client(): BgLocationClient {
   activeClient ??  ();
}

 ():  {
   {
    ...target,
    : .,
    : .,
  };
}

 (): <<>, { :  }> {
   message = error   ? error. : (error);
   (.(message)) {
     { : , : , message };
  }
   (.(message)) {
     { : , : , message };
  }
   { : , : , message };
}

   (): <<>> {
   {
    activeClient = ((target), app_id);
     activeClient.();
     { : , :  };
  }  (error) {
    activeClient = ;
     (error);
  }
}

   (): <<>> {
   {
     ().();
    activeClient = ;
     { : , :  };
  }  (error) {
     (error);
  }
}

   (): <<>> {
   {
     { : , :  ().() };
  }  (error) {
     (error);
  }
}

   (): <<>> {
   {
     { : , :  ().() };
  }  (error) {
     (error);
  }
}

   (): <<>> {
   {
     { : , :  ().() };
  }  (error) {
     (error);
  }
}

4. Usage shape

Screens must pass connectionUrl, trackInBackground, and persistAcrossRestarts. Do not pass tableName or fieldMap; the control uses the default msdyn_locationrecords table and default msdyn_* field map. intervalMs, distanceFilterMeters, and notification are optional.

const target: GeoTrackingTarget = {
  connectionUrl: 'https://org.crm.dynamics.com',
  trackInBackground: true,
  persistAcrossRestarts: false,
};

await startTracking('my-wrap-app', target);

5. Type-check and summary

npx tsc --noEmit

Only after table + columns are verified and TypeScript passes, report:

Geolocation status : READY
Package present    : @microsoft/power-apps-native-bglocation
Wrapper            : src/native/geolocation.ts
Required config    : connectionUrl, trackInBackground, persistAcrossRestarts
Auth               : MSAL only
Target table       : <TABLE> verified
Native config      : not changed

If table verification failed, report BLOCKED or UNVERIFIED instead and do not update memory-bank.md as if the control is ready.
