I am fetching a user's location from Expo. While catch block always executes first and later location is still fetched correctly. Though, catch should happen only if the location was not fetched.

PS: It happens only when I am testing the app on real device under a Tunnel connection. However, works fine on the Emulator. I don't see anything wrong with the Code though.

Please comment.

useEffect(() => {
  const verifyPermissions = async () => {
    const result = await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.LOCATION);
    if (result.status !== 'granted') {
      Alert.alert(
        'Insufficient permissions!',
        'You need to grant location permissions to use this app.',
        [{ text: 'Okay' }]
      );
      return false;
    }
    return true;
  };
  (async () => {
    const hasPermission = await verifyPermissions();
    if (!hasPermission) {
      return;
    }
    try {
      const location = await Location.getCurrentPositionAsync({});
      setPickedLocation({
        latitude: location.coords.latitude,
        longitude: location.coords.longitude,
      });
    } catch (err) {
      Alert.alert('Could not fetch location!', 'Please try again.', [
        { text: 'Okay' },
      ]);
    }
  })();
}, []);
