[@nativescript/geolocation] getCurrentLocation() not working in NS8

[sasabogi]

getCurrentLocation() returned an error in NativeScript 8: Error: Cannot enable the location service. TypeError: Cannot read property 'Accuracy' of undefined

I'm using the latest version "@nativescript/geolocation": "8.1.0"

Which platform?

Also, Accuracy is an enum in CoreTypes module. There is a chance you face a circular reference problem or something like that. Can you try updating core package to 8.4?

I'm running into the same problem. It happens on Android with NS Core 8.4

Edit: Nevermind, found the answer here https://github.com/NativeScript/plugins/issues/364

Hi, This problem still exists, and in my case it's not about googlePlayServicesVersion. As the original issue states:Cannot read property 'Accuracy' of undefined is the reason for failure, which is different from #364 case.

In my case, geolocation is not necessary for the functionality in my app, so I just cannot afford to waste any more of my time on this, but here is another clue I found that might help someone in debugging.

For me, iOS fails regardless of any of this with the message Error: The operation couldn’t be completed. (kCLErrorDomain error 0.) (at least in simulator) so I'm talking only about Android here.

Android works if I do not specify desiredAccuracy inside getCurrentLocation() options at all, or provide a number, going around CoreTypes.

So

geolocation.enableLocationRequest().then(() => {
      geolocation
        .getCurrentLocation({
          desiredAccuracy: 1,
          maximumAge: 5000,
          timeout: 20000
        })
        .then(currentLocation => {
          console.log('My current latitude: ', currentLocation.latitude)
        })
    })

works.

works.

Then you should pay more attention to my first answer instead: https://github.com/NativeScript/plugins/issues/384#issuecomment-1362791180 This error indicates your environment cannot resolve CoreTypes so it might be that you're using a @nativescript/core version that is no longer compatible or has problems with current version of plugin.
