Android Geofence Details

According to the Google Play Policy for tracking geofence, app owners should have two different permissions.

First, app owners should get users' consent to collect their location. After users give consent or not, app owners need to update the value of the location opt-in on Insider accordingly. It has to be true to make geofence tracing work for a user. You can set up location opt-in accordingly from here.

To set up Insider location opt-in to true, Android's location consent should be allowed first.
