💭 Disabled location showing an error log

[ppanwin10]

Question

I disabled the location config by using $VCEnableLocation = false. And I received the following error message in console. Want to confirm that this error log can be ignored.

[system/location-not-enabled: Location is not enabled, so VisionCamera did not compile the Location APIs. Set $VCEnableLocation in your Podfile, or enableLocation in the expo config plugin and rebuild.]

What I tried

$VCEnableLocation = false.

enableLocation={false}

VisionCamera Version

4.0.3

Hm, this error should only come when you set enableLocation={true}. Are you sure you are not passing true here?

[ppanwin10]

Yes I am sure enableLocation={false} in my code.

I am not familiar with swift code but if I understand correctly, this error returns if VISION_CAMERA_ENABLE_LOCATION is off, even though configuration.enableLocation is false. Is there any problem here?

BTW, during my testing of location tagging in my app, I noticed that the saved photo doesn't include location information even I enabled location. I haven't tested it with the example app yet; I just wanted to see if anyone else encountered the same issue. For testing, I'm using an iPhone 11.

Ahhhh, configuration.enableLocation will be true because the device changed, that's all chained. I've created a PR to fix this: https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/pull/2882
