i am also facing the same issue

[rminkler1]

This is related to geolocator_android 4.6.0 A workaround is to add 4.5.5 to your dependencies until 4.6.0 gets fixed.

Thanks @rminkler1

1. Add the following to dependencies: geolocator: ^12.0.0 geolocator_android: 4.5.5

2. Run the following commands: flutter clean flutter pub get

[FlutteriPOP]

Thanks @rminkler1 Now Its Working Perfectolly

[Muhammadurasheed]

Wow! It works 🤗 You just saved the day. You won't believe that I've been battling with the error for days

[rminkler1]

Wow! It works 🤗 You just saved the day. You won't believe that I've been battling with the error for days

I do believe you, because I was also battling this for days. I updated Flutter and I thought I broke something with my Flutter install. It took me almost a week to figure out it was this package.

thank you bro

[osamanoor17]

@anmol-me @rminkler1 what version to use for location package?

[rminkler1]

geolocator: ^12.0.0 geolocator_android: 4.5.5

[osamanoor17]

@rminkler1 sir i am asking for location package not for geolocator..

[rminkler1]

@rminkler1 sir i am asking for location package not for geolocator..

Then I'm afraid I don't understand what you are asking. Geolocator is the package that gets the location of the device. This thread is about a bug in the Android implementation of that package and how to workaround that bug until it is fixed. I've only used geolocator once and ran into this bug, so I'm afraid I can't help beyond this.

[anmol-me]

@Meizzosama Hey, please search if you can find a similar issue with the author of location package. If you can't find it, please raise the issue with the author.

Here is a link to help you get started: https://github.com/Lyokone/flutterlocation/issues

[osamanoor17]

@anmol-me Brother i found the solution. i-e, I haven't updated the kotlin version on file "settings.gradle" that's why it was giving me that error, but later on i fixed it. Thanks a bunch for your reply :)

[saumon]

@rminkler1 thanks, switching to geolocator_android: 4.5.5 saved me hours of researches....

[aliwaseem27]

Facing the same problem, after searching for days found out that geolocator causing it. hope it will be fixed soon.

[Pieter-Uys]

geolocator: ^12.0.0 geolocator_android: 4.5.5

So for some reason when you add

geolocator_android: 4.5.5 it fixes the issue and then you can remove geolocator_android: 4.5.5 afterwards and geolocator: ^12.0.0 will work without it.

[cnLiuMing]

1. geolocator_android

geolocator: ^12.0.0 still gives an error

[rminkler1]

1. geolocator_android

geolocator: ^12.0.0 still gives an error

Add the following two dependencies: geolocator: ^12.0.0 geolocator_android: 4.5.5

Run the following commands: flutter clean flutter pub get

[rminkler1]

geolocator: ^12.0.0 geolocator_android: 4.5.5

So for some reason when you add

geolocator_android: 4.5.5 it fixes the issue and then you can remove geolocator_android: 4.5.5 afterwards and geolocator: ^12.0.0 will work without it.

That might happen if you don't re-run pub get. I suspect if you run pub get again, it breaks again.

[jsqi2009]

Thanks @rminkler1, fixed my issue

nope mine works perfectly without ' geolocator_android'🤷🏻 ran multiple pub gets and cleans and nothing breaks

[khushpajwani]

You can try adding dependencies After that just try performing the above-mentioned steps.

geolocator: ^12.0.0

geolocator_android: 4.5.5

Make sure to perform these two steps just because I did not clean it, it took me 2 hours to figure it out flutter clean flutter pub get

~~Thank you for providing the solution! This solves the issue for building the APK in debug mode, but it doesn't solve it when I need to build the APK for production~~

~~I receive the following errors and APK features don't work:~~

---

After further investigations I conclude the issue is related to another library. Please ignore this post.

[rminkler1]

I wonder if it would work using the dependency override for the Android module instead of declaring it directly. I also saw an update to the Android module to fix some bugs. I don't think it fixes this issue, but it might work without the override now. Worth trying

[BAStriver]

2. flutter clean flutter pub get

thanks bro, i also fixed it by your comment. it's blocking me for two days....

[sajil-cookee]

I am also facing the same issue...

geolocator: ^12.0.0 geolocator_android: 4.5.5

flutter clean flutter pub get

Thanks @rminkler1 fixed my issue

[mvanbeusekom]

Version 4.6.0 of the geolocator_android package depends on version 21.2.0 of the com.google.android.gms:play-services-location Java package, which intern depends on version 1.8.0 or higher of the Kotlin Android coroutines.

For new applications this shouldn't be a problem as the current version of Flutter uses version 1.8.22 of the Kotlin Android coroutines (see the android/settings.gradle file of the project).

However for applications created with Flutter versions prior to 3.24.2 the above error will show up as those applications are generated using version 1.7.10 of the Kotlin Android coroutines. There are a few solutions here:

Recommended solution:

• Upgrade to the latest version of Flutter and make sure the Android project settings are also up to date (a nice migration guide can be found here: https://medium.com/@iam.umairimran/flutter-app-migration-guide-updating-to-flutter-3-19-0-ab8b66008838)

Alternative solution:

• As mentioned by other people in this thread, override the dependency on the geolocator_android package and fallback to version 4.5.5. This could look as follows in the pubspec.yaml:

dependency_overrides:
  geolocator_android: 4.5.5

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter

  geolocator: ^13.0.1

I will go ahead and close this issue now as solutions are available.
