I know there have been similar questions, but so far non of them helped me solve my issue.

I have an older app in java from my work, I need to maintain. On android 14 there is a strange/not-working behavior to request GPS location permissions.

my manifest has request for permissions:

    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus"/>
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.gps" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.network" />
    
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_GPS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_ASSISTED_GPS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

in the onStart() of my activity I have

if(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                    new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
                    REQUEST_CODE_FINE_LOCATION);        
}

and the onRequestPermissionsResult:

@Override
    public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
        super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
 
        if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_FINE_LOCATION) {
            for (int res : grantResults) {
                if (res != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                    Log.e("PERMISSION", "NO FINE LOCATION PERMISSION");
                }
            }
        }
    }

Whenever the requestPermissions() is called, there comes a result without even asking the user,
that the permission was not granted.

The same goes if I only try t ask for a “ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION”

When asking for any other permissions (Camera, or nearby devices) this workflow forks just fine and I have a popup asking about it.

The strange thing is, that in the setting I have Location permissions allowed.
