Flutterlocation: Crash on iOS

[zanecidan]

I'm using this to get current user location which works perfectly fine in android but it crashes in iOS both in simulator and iPhone. It doesn't even go into the try catch clause. Both getLocation() and hasPermission() crashes with following errors in flutter:

* First throw call stack:
(

1 libobjc.A.dylib 0x000000010b3bd031 objc_exception_throw + 48

Thanks for helping.

Hey ! with version 2.1 the plugin should be more reliable, please check it out :)

I figured out that my issue was totally due to my NOOBness. I was not correctly asking for the location permission in the AndroidManifest.xml nor in Info.plist. Figured it out while watching this YouTube video about implementing the permission_handler package.

Needed to add this to AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION">

And to Info.plit

<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app needs your location in order to function properly.</string>
