    We rely on Input.location.Start to trigger the permission popup for Permission.FineLocation, but Android 12 now requires to ask for Permission.CoarseLocation and both at the same time, I can't find a way to solve this and still rely on Input.location.Start to trigger the popup.

    You can manually request the permission using Permission.RequestUserPermission API (read more https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-RequestingPermissions.html ). However this Android 12 requirement for location permissions is something we have to fix for Input.location.Start as well. Could you submit a bug report so it gets tracked?
