Is there a way to use Location from a widget?
When running from the app, I can get the location, but from a widget, I see this error:

I noticed that apps like Maps and Weather now have new permission under privacy: While using the App or Widgets. Maybe Scriptable is missing this permission?

Update: Using non-beta versions of iOS 14.0 and Scriptable 1.5 (161)

Update 2: Here is a minimal script to demonstrate the issue:

let widget = await createWidget()
if (!config.runsInWidget) {
  await widget.presentSmall()
}
Script.setWidget(widget)
Script.complete()

async function createWidget(items) {
  let w = new ListWidget()
  const latLong = await Location.current()
  const loc = `${latLong.latitude}/${latLong.longitude}`
  w.addText(loc)
  return w
}
