LocationDataProvider Protocol in ios

Hi all,
This is Sam Jones just asked this question in office Hours. I cannot seem to get location passed to my lens. I am implementing the correct protocol, I can confirm that the "location" for the protocol is being updated, but my test custom lenses still seem to not work. So I must be missing something. Here is my code for the protocol.

import Foundation
import SCSDKCameraKit
import CoreLocation

class LocationDataProvider: NSObject, SCSDKCameraKit.LocationDataProvider, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
    public var location: CLLocation?
    private let locationManager = CLLocationManager()

    override init() {
        super.init()
        locationManager.delegate = self

        requestLocationPermission()
        locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
    }

    func startUpdating(with parameters: LocationParameters) {

        locationManager.desiredAccuracy = parameters.desiredAccuracy
        locationManager.distanceFilter = parameters.distanceFilterMeters
        //locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
    }

    func stopUpdating() {
        locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation()
    }

    private func requestLocationPermission() {
         switch CLLocationManager().authorizationStatus {
         case .notDetermined:
             CLLocationManager().requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
         case .authorizedWhenInUse, .authorizedAlways:
             print("location authorized")
         default:
             CLLocationManager().requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
             print("location not authorized")
         }
     }

    func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
        guard let lastLocation = locations.last else { return }

        location = lastLocation
        print("location: \(location)")
    }    
}

and here is how I am using it

class CustomizedCameraController: CameraController {

    override func configureDataProvider() -> DataProviderComponent {
        DataProviderComponent(
            deviceMotion: nil, userData: UserDataProvider(), lensHint: nil, location: LocationDataProvider(),
            mediaPicker: lensMediaProvider, remoteApiServiceProviders: [CatFactRemoteApiServiceProvider()])
    }

}

thanks for your help!
