Flutter Location package requestService() never returns

Question

I have a function like this. Using Location package from flutter it shows the dialog to enable GPS.

  Future<bool> _checkServiceStatus() async {
    final Location location = Location();
    bool serviceStatus = await location.serviceEnabled();
    if (!serviceStatus) {
      serviceStatus = await location.requestService();
      print('status -> $serviceStatus');
    }
    return serviceStatus;
  }

When its calling await location.requestService(), it is showing the dialog to enable GPS but after that it never returns the result. Even its not executing the print() function.

What am i doing wrong here?

Any help would be very appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Solution

I had the same issue. It could be solved by upgrading your Flutter project, follow this link https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Upgrading-pre-1.12-Android-projects

print out serviceStatus. Maybe if code not executed?

the code is executed, i know for sure because it shows the GPS dialog.

I not familar with that plugin. It seems like you need set permission?

yes, it shows the dialog to enable my GPS i.stack.imgur.com/u9Q4D.png after that it just stops, the future never returns and next line never executes (print function)

Just clean and build your project. May it is build issue. Same code working fine for me.
