error: Location settings are not satisfied.

[andkom]

Earlier I've used react-native-maps's fused location provider and everything worked fine. After I switched to react-native-geolocation-service some users reported that they don't receive location updates.

Version: 5.2.0

Code:

const useLocation = () => {
  const dispatch = useDispatch();

  useEffect(() => {
    if (!locationPermission) {
      return;
    }

    const watchId = GeoLocation.watchPosition(
      (geoPosition) => {
        dispatch(...);
      },
      (err) => {
        console.warn('Unable to get location', err);
      },
      {
        enableHighAccuracy: true,
        distanceFilter: 0,
        interval: 5000,
        fastestInterval: 1000,
        showLocationDialog: false,
        forceRequestLocation: true,
      },
    );

    return () => {
      GeoLocation.clearWatch(watchId);
    };
  }, [dispatch, locationPermission]);

  return null;
};

Steps to duplicate:

• disable WiFi and bluetooth
• restart phone
• request watchPosition
• watchPosition fails with error { message: 'Location settings are not satisfied.', code: 5 } despite forceRequestLocation: true
• other applications show user location

If I set showLocationDialog to true and then reject location dialog, watchPosition returns location successfully.

Did you manage to solve this? Getting the same on some devices

@frankbolviken not yet, I use this lib with showLocationDialog: true

I mean. Just closing the issue without any comments. I like it.
