Steps to reproduce

Hi,

I'm running my appp on iOS 17.5.1 (real device) (Precise Location in settings is ON, and all the relevant permissions in info.plist are there)

Using geolocator version 12.0.0

When try to get a location using "Geolocator.getCurrentPosition()" (desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.high but also with "best")

Somtimes it takes few seconds, sometimes few minutes, and sometimes it seems like it never ends.

What could be the reason and how can I solve this? Is there any limitation in iOS or something? (It was ok in the past)

(It happens also with "location' package, but there is it worst, it never completes)

Thanks

@burekas7, I think I found something to make it works. Try this - unawaited(Geolocator.getCurrentPosition()); await Geolocator.getPositionStream().first;
