Google have introduced some breaking changes in Google Play Services 21.0.1 turning some classes into interfaces.
This results in exceptions in production, especially if other location libraries like flutter location are used:
java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Found interface com.google.android.gms.location.FusedLocationProviderClient, but class was expected (declaration of 'com.google.android.gms.location.FusedLocationProviderClient'
Unfortunately because mapbox-core-andorid is no longer supported, it won't be migrated to 21+ implementation.
The best we can do is to pin play services to 20.0.0 in the library. This fixes exceptions in production builds, at least for example app.
Likely some changes in the project that uses this library will have to be made to make things work.
