Please, tell us how to recreate the issue in as much detail as possible.

Describe the steps to reproduce it.

1. Created default nativescript agular application.
2. In items.component.ts, add below function in ngOnInit

geolocation.isEnabled().then(function (isEnabled) {
if (!isEnabled) {
geolocation.enableLocationRequest().then(function () {
}, function (e) {
console.log("!!!Error: " + (e.message || e));
});
}
}, function (e) {
console.log("!!Error: " + (e.message || e));
});
Issue is

JS: ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: Cannot enable the location service. TypeError: com.google.android.gms.location.LocationRequest is not a constructor

Here is my observation.
When enableLocationRequest() function is called, it pops up permission dialog. However promise returns with error in background with error
Error: [object Object]
On Approving the permissions I get below issue
JS: ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: Cannot enable the location service. TypeError: com.google.android.gms.location.LocationRequest is not a constructor

Hi @phatakrajan,

This is a known issue related to the NativeScript app build. Try removing your platforms folder and making a clean app build as described in this issue comment. You could also track the issue progress there.

This worked @DimitarTachev . I later saw those comments and followed comments. Application started working
