Always default to the least invasive privacy settings and explicitly request elevated permissions only when necessary for specific functionality. For location-based features, start with reduced accuracy and request precise location only when required with a clear purpose explanation. Configure your app's Info.plist with keys like `NSLocationDefaultAccuracyReduced` to indicate your app can function with reduced permissions by default. This follows the security principle of least privilege and respects user privacy. Example: ```swift // In your view model @Published var locationAccuracy: LocationAccuracyState = .unknown // Only request higher permissions when necessary with clear purpose func requestPreciseLocation() { if locationAccuracy == .reducedAccuracy { let purposeKey = "PreciseLocationPurposeKey" // Defined in InfoPlist.strings locationManager.requestTemporaryFullAccuracyAuthorization(withPurposeKey: purposeKey) } } ``` When implementing location features, be careful with properties like `showsUserLocation = true` that might trigger permission requests immediately. Instead, design your app to request permissions contextually when users access specific features that require those permissions.
