Which platform(s) does your issue occur on?

Please, provide the following version numbers that your issue occurs with:

Please, tell us how to recreate the issue in as much detail as possible.

Describe the steps to reproduce it.

lib does not request for geolocation permissions in NS 6+ on using .enableLocationRequest() method. A simple log saying No v4 support is added to console each time instead The lib internally uses "nativescript-permissions": "~1.3.0" which is outdated(I think so!?). The library is currently at version 1.3.7 and is compatible with androidx according to the latest commits there.

Temporary solution

Installed the latest nativescript-permissions library manually

Need help ASAP :)

I have the same problem on android 7 and NS 6.1.2. The exception on mobile: "An uncaught Exception occurred on GoogleApiHandler thread. Client must have ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission to perform any location operations". I added the permissions to manifest but the error continues. Hope to help someone to find a solution...

@xsterlas @Prefix1802 add the latest nativescript-permissions lib to your project and import it anywhere. This will fix the issue

I solved it by adding:

nslocationalwaysandwheninuseusagedescription nslocationwheninuseusagedescription nslocationalwaysusagedescription

To myproject-info.plist in platforms/ios/myproject and make sure to include it in node_modules/nativescript-geolocation/platforms/ios/info.plist.

@aaayushsingh thank you very much! It solved the problem with all the plugins needs to use permissions.

There is an issue logged in nativescript-dev-webpack that is currently in progress.
