NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription - Deprecated

...by the way the same applies to the documentation for @capacitor/google-maps plugin at the following link https://capacitorjs.com/docs/apis/google-maps#ios. Here the relevant excerpt: NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription (Privacy - Location Always Usage Description).

Apis docs come directly from the plugins README, it's been fixed there already, but for Capacitor 6 docs only.

Thanks @jcesarmobile.

Is it also safe to only have NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription in Info.plist for @capacitor/geolocation and @capacitor/google-maps in the case of Capacitor 5? I mean, can we omit NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription and NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription and only have NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription in Info.plist for these plugins?

Thanks!

Yes, it's also possible, we marked it as "breaking" just to document it in the upgrade guide so all users who update from Capacitor 5 to Capacitor 6 can know about it, but you can do it now.

Thanks @jcesarmobile !
