Same problem here, but the case could be a bit different.

I have geolocator version 5.1.4+2 in my project. When location services are disabled on the device, the getCurrentPosition() method never returns on Android 8 and 9, either with or without Google Play Services.

On Android 10 instead, it throws a PlatformException with INVALID_LOCATION_SETTINGS error code so it's cool for me. I'd expect the same behavior on earlier Android versions, or the method to throw some other exception or at least to return null.

@StijnWoerkom or some other maintainer, please advise. Thanks in advance!

I have tried searching about this issue extensively but I could not find an answer.
My Clima App refuses to give me the geolocation. The geolocator package does not seem to work. I am really confused about this.

The error I get is :

Did you find a fix for this? I have been facing it for the last two days. Not on all devices though. A few OnePlus and Xiaomi devices so far.

getCurrentLocation() returns nothing.

Version: 5.1.4

@prsidhu same here, not fix so far.

Fixed in version 6.0.0

It didn't appear to be fixed in 6.0.0+2 but it sure went away in 6.0.0+4. Thank you so much! This was a gnarly bug as it stopped the Android app dead in its tracks. For more debug context, getCurrentPosition would work just fine as soon as the user moved the Google Maps SDK map around, even if just by a pixel. You would think the two flutter packages have nothing to do with each other, right?
