iOS Question Prompt to Enable Location Services After User Selected "Don't Allow"

I'm sure I'm just missing some little detail, but I haven't been able to get this to work so far.

I've got my app working to prompt the user to allow Location Services the first time the app loads after installation.

If they select "Don't Allow" I've got a message displaying that they didn't authorize location services, so certain functionality is unavailable. I'd like at that point to provide a button the user can click to enable the location services (basically prompt them a second time).

I've tried several things with the LocationManager object without success. What I've read makes it sound like simply running the Start method of the LM again will prompt the user again, but in practice it hasn't been doing that.

How can I prompt the user a second time to enable location services if they'd denied that authorization?

The user will not be asked again after they denied access.

You need to open your app's page in the settings app: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/open-default-settings-app.51115/#post-319865
There the user can give your app access.

Thank you @Erel - you always get me pointed in the right direction.
