Settings keeps stopping

[DaAngus]

Navigate to Settings - Security & location and select Location: The Settings application crashes.

If its not reproducible I will add Details as good as I can.

Do you use the microG version or the clean one?

[DaAngus]

microG, Location works in OSMAnd. Its just the Settings. I have had problems with the clean Version as it could not resolve some paths. So you can not reproduce it?

[mstaz]

No, for me this settings screen works fine with the microG version. Did you configure UnifiedNlp in the microG settings and is the self-check ok?

[DaAngus]

I have it configured and the self-check seems ok. I changed nothing(tm) and now it works. Can't reproduce, closed. Thanks for taking your time

Spoke to soon, this is strange:

If I open Settings and go straight to "Security & location - location" it crashes.

If I open Settings and go to "System - Advanced - microG Settings" have a look and go back, now I can access "Security & location - location" without a crash.

I was able to pull the following log after the location menu crashed. EDIT: This seems to be related to microg/android_packages_apps_UnifiedNlp#165.

I cannot reproduce this, sorry. I assume that it is up to the MicroG people to fix this.
