Reproducible Demo

Run project after yarn and pod install, open debug console

I was having the same issue. But after stopping the packager, cleaning my build in Xcode, and then running pod install it worked fine

Make sure you have pod 'react-native-geolocation', path: '../node_modules/@react-native-community/geolocation' in your pod file

Getting the same error,

macOS Catalina 10.15 iOS 11.1 Xcode 11.1

"react": "16.8.6", "react-native": "^0.59.5", "@react-native-community/geolocation": "^2.0.2",

my Podfile pod 'react-native-geolocation', :path => '../node_modules/@react-native-community/geolocation'

[aminosman]

This error + solution is for RN 0.60+. Did you react-native link react-native-geolocation?

[adeanugerah89]

This error + solution is for RN 0.60+. Did you react-native link react-native-geolocation?

already did 'react-native link @react-native-community/geolocation' , I also tried manually linked, but still get the same error

[spyshower]

Getting the same error on 0.61 (android)

problem solved, just downgrade the version "@react-native-community/geolocation": "1.4.2"

[josegamboa]

yarn add @react-native-community/[email protected] react-native link @react-native-community/geolocation

Worked for me too.

Same issue here on android, react-native-geolocation: 2.0.2, react-native: 0.61.5.

Error: @react-native-community/geolocation: NativeModule.RNCGeolocation is null.

Has anyone found a fix/workaround?

For me building failed after I installed it with yarn, but removing it, cleaning everything, and then reinstalling with npm instead fixed it for me. Here are the steps I took:

1. yarn remove @react-native-community/geolocation
2. cd ios
3. pod deintegrate
4. navigate back to the project with ../
5. npm install @react-native-community/geolocation --save
6. cd ios
7. pod install
8. watchman watch-del-all && rm -rf $TMPDIR/react-* && rm -rf node_modules/ && npm cache verify && npm install && npm start -- --reset-cache
9. close terminal windows with this and metro bundler and anything else related to react native
10. open a new window and react-native run-ios

i try all this solution and still have the same issue:

i make an import in my component Map.js : import Geolocation from '@react-native-community/geolocation';

i also install dependencies and downgrade @react-native-community/geolocation to 1.4.2 : "dependencies": { "@react-native-community/geolocation": "^1.4.2", "@react-native-community/masked-view": "0.1.6", "@react-navigation/drawer": "^5.5.0", "@react-navigation/native": "^5.1.5", "@react-navigation/stack": "^5.2.10" } And then make a link ; react-native link @react-native-community/geolocation But i also have the same error

i am making test with expo. Someone can help me please?

Getting the same error on 0.61 (android)

I got around this by using react-native-location instead. Hope it helps. Windows/Android

Update: after installing react-native-location i was able to properly install and use react-native-Geolocation. It seems that Geolocation uses a native location api that, for some reason, and for some of us, it's like it doesn't exist. Installing react-native-location package installs some of this native api functions. So, after installing it, Geolocation package now runs smoothly.

@Genius237 , i have the same issue with expo , have you managed to solve the issue?

[Ro-F]

Have you tried to use react-native-location instead?

[claugf]

I ended up using Expo's native API (expo install expo-location), as I am using expo already, and I do not have the Ios/Android folders. No trouble so far.

Hi @zyonnetworks !

On Android device, i have just tried to use the 'react-native-geolocation-service' and it really worked for me!

yarn add react-native-geolocation-service

As the API format is really similar, I had just to change the import line. Please, check it out!

// import Geolocation from '@react-native-community/geolocation';
import Geolocation from 'react-native-geolocation-service';

Thats all! Thanks!
