I am converting the latLng to location address. I followed instructions from here.

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-nativegeocoder npm install --save @ionic-native/native-geocoder

app.module:

import { HttpModule } from '@angular/http';
import { Geolocation } from '@ionic-native/geolocation';
import { NativeGeocoder } from '@ionic-native/native-geocoder';
import { GeocoderProvider } from '../providers/geocoder/geocoder'; -- it is my provider to convert latLng to Location

providers: [
        StatusBar,
        SplashScreen,
        Geolocation,
        { provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: IonicErrorHandler },
        NativeGeocoder,
        GeocoderProvider
    ]

GeocoderProvider.ts:

reverseGeocode(lat: number, lng: number): Promise<any> {
        try {
            return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
                this._GEOCODE.reverseGeocode(lat, lng)
                    .then((result: NativeGeocoderReverseResult) => {
                        let str: string =
                            `The reverseGeocode address is ` +//${result.street} in ${result.countryCode}`;
                            result.countryCode + '-' +
                            result.countryName + '-' +
                            result.locality + '-' +
                            result.subLocality + '-' +
                            result.administrativeArea + '-' +
                            result.subAdministrativeArea + '-' +
                            result.thoroughfare + '-' +
                            result.subThoroughfare + '-' +
                            result.postalCode
                        resolve(str);
                        console.log(result);
                    })
                    .catch((error: any) => {
                        reject(error);
                        console.log(error);
                    });
            });
        } catch (e) {
            console.log(e);
        }
    }

I have break point on this._GEOCODE... and it hits. Another break point is on let str: string =... but it is never hit. Also nothing in the console.
What is happening? Why the second break point is not hit?

[mostafa7240]

OK. Break points are hitting now (Thanks to ionic's self healing) :confused:
But an error is raising now:

Native: tried calling NativeGeocoder.reverseGeocode, but the NativeGeocoder plugin is not installed
Install the NativeGeocoder plugin: 'ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-nativegeocoder'
plugin_not_installed

But It is installed. Anyway I Removed and added nativegeocoder Plugin:
ionic cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-nativegeocoder
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-nativegeocoder
npm install --save @ionic-native/native-geocoder

The error is still here:tired_face:

Hi mostafa,
Same problem here...
Did you solve your problem?

[teomaragakis]

Got the same problem for Zeroconf...

[Crunch-Hudson]

I think I got a solution :
1) uninstall the plugin with "ionic cordova plugin rm 'pluginname' --save"
2) rm the platform (android in my case)
3) add the platform
4) re-install the plugin with "ionic cordova plugin add 'pluginname' --save"
5) install with npm too, like "npm install ionic-native/nativegeocoder", don't have in my mind the exact command...

I'm not sure that is the right way to do but in my case it works !

Good luck guys

I'm on the same boat with @teomaragakis, Zeroconf triggering plugin_not_installed. Tried removing and adding in different orders both the plugin and the platform, also the npm package as well... Any idea?

[lscarneiro]

I'm feeling really dumb now, I just forgot entirely about platform.ready(). This comment triggered that feeling in me hahaha, just leaving it here for googlers, or maybe future me ;-)
