Flutter Location packages does not return current location on iOS

Question

I'm stuck with this problem, If I try to call:

Location location = Location();
LocationData data = await location.getLocation();

The future does never return anything, it just keeps going without returning values. This is kinda weird because in my application I also have google maps and they find without a problem my position, so it is not a GPS / Permission problem.

On Android this problem does not exist, just on iOS (Targetting iOS 10.0 at the moment).

Edit:

After more tests I concluded that it actually works, but just the first time the app is opened, every other request to that method does not respond.

Answer 1

To use it in iOS, you have to add this permission in Info.plist:

NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription

Answer 2

I managed to solve it, if it happens to you check to do not call.getLocation() while a onChangedPosition listener is active.

Answer 3

I was struggling with this for a while. Go to your simulator settings at the top bar, click the 'Features' ==> 'Location' pick from various locations to mock: [None, Custom Location, City Run, City Bicycle Ride, Freeway Drive, Apple].

Should work then provided Info.plist is properly set-up, and Android Manifest is correct.
