Steps to reproduce

1. add the geolocator plugin
2. add the access.coarse.location permission in androidmanifest.xml
3. call geolocator.getCurrentPosition();

Expected results

the coarse location/position of the user should be returned.

Actual results

App crashes when calling geolocator.getCurrentPosition(); i have added the android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION in my AndroidManifest.xml file, but when the app requests the user's current position the app crashes with the following exception:

D/AndroidRuntime(11738): Shutting down VM E/AndroidRuntime(11738): FATAL EXCEPTION: main E/AndroidRuntime(11738): java.lang.SecurityException: Neither user 10373 nor current process has android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION.

although im not even requesting user's fine location.

I even tried specifying a specific geolocator version like 11.0.0 and previous ones but to no avail.

complete error log:
