await location.getLocation() some times getting null in iOS devices

[mohammednabil95]

More than one month I am using location package, in android devices it is working fine but in iOS physical device or simulator some times it is not working. I debug it and found that it is getting null on await location.getLocation();

Location location = new Location(); LocationData _locationData; _locationData = await location.getLocation(); // Getting null on this line

Same issue. I have also seen it take a realllly long time to return, like 10 to 15 seconds.

From my side when it goes to await.getLocation(); it does not return it stays there forever unless I rerun the app and sometimes it shows null

@mohammednabil95 do you have a distanceFilter set greater than 0?

[mohammednabil95]

@sandersaelmans I cannot find distanceFilter in this library.

same issue not working

There seems to be a major issue. getLocation() works first time. When it is asking for permission. But after that if I restart the app it gets stuck in this line _locationData = await location.getLocation(); Package version: 4.2.0 Flutter version: 2.8.0

I solved it temporarily it's only we face because of ios simulator not working great for this dependency in a flutter. if select city run or change correct location then it will work.

I switched out location package for geolocator after many failed attempted tries to resolve the issue.
