Also getting this error

[Kamill90]

the same. It is the first library I need to integrate and I do it on a fresh react-native starter app. It works perfectly fine on iOS but cannot find any workaround for android. Any suggestion?

[Agontuk]

I've a fix for this in rn60 branch. WIll merge it in master and do a new release as soon as possible.

[Kamill90]

Merge it!

[Agontuk]

New version is available, so closing this issue.

On another note, if you're using RN 0.59 or below, don't use play-services-location greater than 16.0.0 because the later versions have breaking changes.

[jaburx]

still facing it

[lutakyn]

I'm also facing the same issue,I'm using version 3.0.0

[santiagofm]

@Agontuk That fix doesn't seem to be merged to master yet. Can you take a look?

[pierroo]

@Agontuk I am also facing this issue, using RN 0.60; v3.0.0

I haven't done any extra manual installation as mentioned in the readme.

can you please let us know if it was actually merged to master?

Thank you for your time!

EDIT: I had to run npx jetify , now it is working fine.

@Agontuk could you please merge this commit of yours on branch rn60-fix? Is there any reason not to do so?

[Agontuk]

@jmhinric , are you using play-services-location version greater than 16.0.0 ? Currently master branch is working fine even without this fix.

[jmhinric]

@Agontuk I got it working- like the previous comment, it was the npx jetify. Thanks!

[gluons]

npx jetify workaround works like a charm.
Wish RN 0.60 fix will land soon. Thank you. ☺
