Please, give us a bit more information about this issue:

• Do you reproduce it with the demo app? If yes, give us the steps you make.
• Does it happen on a real device or an emulator?
• Which version of the NativeScript CLI and the nativescript-geolocation plugin are you using?

[bbetter]

1. I can try it in few hours
2. it does happen both on emulator and on real device
   emulator is latest Pixel
   and real device is Samsugn Galaxy s8+
3. Both are latest if I remember correctly, but i'll double check

This happened to me when I had conflicting googlePlayServicesVersion in the include.gradle of nativescript-geolocation and nativescript-google-maps-sdk plugins. I set both to default to "11.4.0" and the error disappeared. Not sure if OP's problem is due to the same problem, but it might worth checking out.

[johnespn]

Using 11.8.0 yields same result, any pointers on this?

project.ext {
googlePlayServicesVersion = "11.8.0"
}

[bbetter]

I've been off for few weeks with this task, would appreciate any pointers on this as well

Hi,

I had the same problem, you have to modify
yourProject\node_modules\nativescript-geolocation\platforms\android\include.gradle in dependencies : def googlePlayServicesVersion = project.hasProperty('googlePlayServicesVersion') ? project.googlePlayServicesVersion : "11.4.0"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:$googlePlayServicesVersion"
to
def googlePlayServicesVersion = project.hasProperty('googlePlayServicesVersion') ? project.googlePlayServicesVersion : '+'
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:$googlePlayServicesVersion"

after you use "tns build android".

[ryannuijen]

_isLocationServiceEnabled().then(function () {
     resolve();
 }, function (ex) {
    var statusCode = ex.getStatusCode();
    ...
}

Same here with Play Services 11.8.0. The error handler is returning TypeError: com.google.android.gms.location.LocationRequest is not a constructor

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

Open the app. Get the following error straight away...

JS: Angular is running in the development mode. Call enableProdMode() to enable the production mode.
JS: ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: ex.getStatusCode is not a function
JS: TypeError: ex.getStatusCode is not a function
JS: at ...../files/app/tns_modules/nativescript-geolocation/geolocation.js:156:41

Is there any code involved?

Call the following function from the constructor of the main component

private enableLocation() { 
        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));
        });
    }

Hi guys, we found the issue with the exception handling in enableLocationRequest.

It was fixed in PR #105 and released in version 4.2.3 of the plugin.

[rajd90]

I'm still having trouble. I get an "Error: Cannot enable the location service" despite seeing location permissions for the app are enabled in the Android settings.

[DimitarTachev]

Hi @rajd90,

It seems that you are getting some unexpected exception on the location service check which is not reproducible on our side and in this way, you are going through the devices without a location service flow.

Could you debug and check the exception (ex) in your ./node_modules/nativescript-geolocation/geolocation.android.js file on line 168 (reject(new Error("Cannot enable the location service"));) or just add a console log with the exception (ex) just before the reject call and update us back with the exception message?

You could also check if the exception is reproducible on other devices or emulators and if yes, a sample application reproducing this behavior will be highly appreciated.
