Actual results

Task :geolocator_android:lintDebug FAILED Lint found 1 errors, 4 warnings. First failure:

/home/moritz/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dev/geolocator_android-4.4.0/android/src/main/java/com/baseflow/geolocator/location/BackgroundNotification.java:100: Error: Missing permissions required by NotificationManagerCompat.notify: android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS [MissingPermission] notificationManager.notify(notificationId, builder.build()); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Explanation for issues of type "MissingPermission": This check scans through your code and libraries and looks at the APIs being used, and checks this against the set of permissions required to access those APIs. If the code using those APIs is called at runtime, then the program will crash.

Furthermore, for permissions that are revocable (with targetSdkVersion 23), client code must also be prepared to handle the calls throwing an exception if the user rejects the request for permission at runtime.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':geolocator_android:lintDebug'.

            Lint found errors in the project; aborting build.

              Fix the issues identified by lint, or create a baseline to see only new errors:
              ```
              android {
                  lint {
                      baseline = file("lint-baseline.xml")

Do you still have this issue? I cannot reproduce this.

Kind regards,

Tim

[Huber1]

Hi Tim, I am currently on vacation so I can tell you next week. Thanks for your work on this package

[Huber1]

I'll close this for now, don't get this error ATM. If I get it again, I'll reopen the issue. Thanks for your awesome work on this package

[gellsonmesquita]

how can i solve this ? the error is same above

[Demented-Elmo]

Any updates on this? I'm running into the same problem as OP

[CarlosAlvarezdev]

This is not a final solution, but for the moment works to me: I change the version of gradle to this one: distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.6.1-all.zip

/android/build.gradle --->

ext.kotlin_version = '1.8.0'
dependencies {
        classpath ('com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.4.2')
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.8.0"
    }

// I think this is specific config only for the packages that I'm using

configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { details ->
            def requested = details.requested
            
            if (requested.group == "androidx.webkit" && requested.name == "webkit") {
                details.useVersion "1.6.0"
            }
            
            if (requested.group == "androidx.window" && requested.name == "window") {
                details.useVersion "1.0.0"
            }
            if (requested.group == "androidx.window" && requested.name == "window-java") {
                details.useVersion "1.0.0"
            }
            
            if (requested.group == "androidx.fragment" && requested.name == "fragment") {
                details.useVersion "1.6.0"  
            }
            
            if (requested.group == "androidx.lifecycle" && requested.name.startsWith("lifecycle-")) {
                details.useVersion "2.6.0"  
            }
            
            if (requested.group == "androidx.core" && (requested.name == "core" || requested.name == "core-ktx")) {
                details.useVersion "1.8.0"  
            }

            
            if (requested.group == "androidx.annotation" && requested.name == "annotation-experimental") {
                details.useVersion "1.3.0"  
            }

            if (requested.group == "androidx.activity" && requested.name == "activity") {
                details.useVersion "1.7.0"  
            }
        }
    }

/android/app/build.gradle --->

compileSdkVersion 33
minSdkVersion 21
targetSdkVersion 33

/settings.gradle --->

plugins {
    id "dev.flutter.flutter-plugin-loader" version "1.0.0"
    id "com.android.application" version '7.4.2' apply false
    id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "1.8.0" apply false
}

I hope that works to you, It is a solution in the meantime

I am also facing this issue in version 4.6.1

[vorn-dev-ni]

same issue

[MyBlueford16]

@TimHoogstrate I'm having this same issue as well and it seems others still are also, can this be reopened?

I believe this PR fixes it.. can you merge it in?? https://github.com/Baseflow/flutter-geolocator/pull/1593

[Huber1]

i reopened this now, because others still have the problem

[AromalSk]

I am also having this issue. i tried a lot of different ways but nothings working. if i get a solution ill update it here.

[TimHoogstrate]

Can someone confirm if this is still happening in the latest versions? Because I still cannot reproduce this.

Kind regards

[LJaschinski]

I'm unfortunately still having this issue, even after an update to the last version of geolocator (13.0.3). I'm using https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.1-all.zip (but same issue with 8.0)

[TimHoogstrate]

Can anyone put their updated flutter doctor -v output here. Because I still cannot reproduce this.

[TitouanLrav]

I have the same issue. Here's my flutter doctor -v (lauched without any device connected)
