This is a great question. I'm not an expert on this yet, but I'm using Google's Funding Choices SDK in order to try to manage asking users for GDPR consent. They use a user's IP address as a way to estimate approximate location in order to decide whether it's necessary to show a user a GDPR or CCPA dialog. However, I don't think you have to ask before using "Coarse" location like that. In my apps I'm making sure to say "Yes" to the App Store privacy interview questions that show how a user's data is used and, although I don't care about a user's location, a lot of the SDK's that I use do want it (e.g. Google AdMob).
