Out of control Google Express location message prompt!

Google Express app on an iPad (version 15.0.0)
Date: 04/24/2017

Description:

I downloaded the Google Express iOS app (version 15.0.0) today on my iPad Mini. I immediately ran into a bug that made me think that this app broke my iPad.

I've gotten this bug to reproduce twice now. The first time I was forced to do a complete reboot of the device in order to get the goofy error message to go away. This error message lingered over everything I did, and even dragged itself over my iPad's passcode entry screen.

Please note that I am NOT physically in the United States (although I did download the app from the American iTunes store). Perhaps this is why the app and it's message about finding my "zip" code freaked out.

This is much easier to show than it is to describe (and frankly I don't want to completely reboot my iPad Mini because of an error message from an app) so please see the attached screenshots.

1. Download and launch the Google Express app on an iPad Mini
2. Launch the app
3. Note that the "Allow "Express" to access your location while you use the app?" error message repeatedly flashes when it first appears
4. Select "Don't Allow" - nothing happens
5. Select "Allow" - nothing happens
6. Press home button to return to home screen - error message follows you and cannot be dismissed

Result: The "Allow "Express" to access your location while you use the app?" error message cannot seemingly be dismissed. Follows user out of the app and on top of "Enter Passcode" screen

Expected: I should be able to dismiss the location permission prompt for the Google Express app

Download Google Express on an iPad Mini...

Launch the app

If you look really close, you'll notice this message. It just keeps flashing when I launch the app...

Exit out of the app - message never seems to go away....

Followed me out to the Enter Passcode screen...

Still kept following me around. Had to re-boot the device to get this message to finally go away!
