In our code, we are using only geolocation library. I dont know why its showing the name of this library folder while trying to debugging in Android Studio.

The screenshot above is also share from android studio logs. I guess map library might be internally interconnected with Geo location. For more clarity on this issue, I am sharing below code related to fetching current location. This got crash only when user tried to disable the location form notification drawer.

import Geolocation from '@react-native-community/geolocation';

useEffect(() => { getCurrentLocation(); }, []);

useEffect(() => { // getCurrentLocation(); const handleAppStateChange = (nextAppState) => { console.log('nextAppState', nextAppState); if (appState.match(/inactive|background/) && nextAppState === 'active') { getCurrentLocation(); } setAppState(nextAppState);

};

const appStateSubscription = AppState.addEventListener('change', handleAppStateChange);

return () => {
  appStateSubscription.remove();
};

}, [appState]);

const getCurrentLocation = async () => { try { const result = await Promise.race([ request( Platform.OS === "ios" ? PERMISSIONS.IOS.LOCATION_WHEN_IN_USE : PERMISSIONS.ANDROID.ACCESS_FINELOCATION ), new Promise((, reject) => setTimeout(() => reject('Location request timed out'), 7000)), ]);

  setPermissionStatus(result);
  onLocationChange(null);
  if (result === RESULTS.GRANTED) {
    Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
      (position) => {
        const { latitude, longitude } = position.coords;
        onLocationChange({ latitude, longitude, permissionStatus });
        setRetryCount(0); // Reset retry count on successful location retrieval
      },
      (error) => {
        onLocationChange("location_faild");
        // if (error?.message == 'No location provider available.') {
        //   Alert.alert('GPS Disabled',
        //     'To use this app, please enable GPS (location services) on your device. ' +
        //     'You can enable it in your device settings.', [
        //     { text: AppString.OK, style: 'cancel', onPress: () => navigation.goBack() },
        //   ]);
        //   return;
        // }
        // if (retryCount < getMaxRetries) {
        //   setRetryCount(retryCount + 1);
        //   setTimeout(getCurrentLocation, 1000); // Retry Fetch Location here
        // } else {
        //   onLocationChange("Failed");
        //   console.log("Failed to retrieve location");
        // }
      },
      { timeout: 60000, enableHighAccuracy: false } // Added enableHighAccuracy: false
    );
  } else if (result === RESULTS.DENIED) {
    onLocationChange('location_faild');
    alertPopup();
  } else if (result === RESULTS.BLOCKED) {
    onLocationChange('location_faild');
    alertPopup();
  } else if (result == RESULTS.UNAVAILABLE) {
    onLocationChange('location_faild');
  }
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error);
  onLocationChange(null);
}

};
