Dear @OsamaQureshi796,

It looks like you are on a very old version of geolocator. Is it possible to update to a newer version? I don't know if this is the problem but the bug might be fixed in newer versions.

Kind regards,

[OsamaQureshi796]

Dear @TimHoogstrate ,

I really appreciate your response. I'm migrating it to the new version and i'll let you know.

Thanks

[Zirialk]

Same is happening to me with geolocator: ^14.0.0 and [√] Flutter (Channel stable, 3.29.3, on Microsoft Windows [Versi¢n 10.0.19045.5737], locale es-ES)

[jiang111]

me too, if accuracy =LocationAccuracy.low App had crashed

[TimHoogstrate]

Dear @jiang111 or @Zirialk or @OsamaQureshi796,

Can anyone post the location settings that you use when the crash happens AND how you reproduce this? Similar to:

final LocationSettings locationSettings = LocationSettings(
  accuracy: LocationAccuracy.high,
  distanceFilter: 100,
);

Position position = await Geolocator.getCurrentPosition(locationSettings: locationSettings);

Kind regards

Kind regards

AndroidSettings androidSettings = AndroidSettings(accuracy: LocationAccuracy.low, forceLocationManager: true);
var position = await Geolocator.getCurrentPosition(
locationSettings: androidSettings,
);

After I restarted the phone, I found that the crash was not necessary.

[TimHoogstrate]

Dear @jiang111 @Zirialk @OsamaQureshi796,

I can't reproduce the issue for now. But be sure to add the following in your manifest:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION" />

I need to update the example app because the example app lacks the appropriate permissions.

Kind regards,

[OsamaQureshi796]

Dear @TimHoogstrate i do have these permissions in the app but it still crashing in some huawei mobiles.

[OsamaQureshi796]

Please have a look at the video. there is also this bug happening.

[TimHoogstrate]

@OsamaQureshi796, it looks like you use version geolocator version 10? This is an old version. Can you upgrade to a newer version?

Kind regards,

[OsamaQureshi796]

Dear @TimHoogstrate

i'm using geolocator_android: ^4.6.0 because i've given update last time and my app was crashing and then i found out that this version is stable version but now i'm in doubt if i update app to latest version and start crashing.

[TimHoogstrate]

Dear @OsamaQureshi796,

I think you should upgrade Flutter to a newer (3.29 and above) version and migrate Gradle in order to use geolocator_android 5.0.0.

Kind regards,
