Please check the following before submitting a new issue.

• [X] I have carefully read the documentation and verified I have added the required platform specific configuration.

Please select affected platform(s)

• [X] Android
• [ ] iOS
• [ ] Linux
• [ ] macOS
• [ ] Web
• [ ] Windows

Steps to reproduce

Create a Flutter project and add geolocator: ^13.0.1 to pubspec.yaml. Configure android/app/build.gradle as shown above. Attempt to build the project for Android (flutter build apk or flutter run on a physical Android device). The build fails with the LocationRequest.Builder error.

This error only happen in android not on ios

Expected results

The app should compile and run successfully on Android devices, allowing geolocation to work as expected without build errors.

No luck brother, I try to lower down the version, clear the cache, clear the project, rebuild everything, and still it didnt work. Good to see I'm not the only one having this problem.

I sorted it out. Make sure your play-services-location is updated in your grade file.
