LocationNotFoundException (Location with the name "GMT" doesn't exist)

Question

i need to create local notification for scheduling, the issue is when i use setLocalLocation function to get the time zone name which equals [log] timeZoneName value is =>GMT .

the exception is:

LocationNotFoundException (Location with the name "GMT" doesn't exist)

the main function:

const MethodChannel platform = MethodChannel('dexterx.dev/example_app');
void main() async {
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
await _configureLocalTimeZone();
runApp(MyApp());
}

_configureLocalTimeZone function:

Future<void> _configureLocalTimeZone() async {
  tz.initializeTimeZones();
  final String timeZoneName = await platform.invokeMethod('getTimeZoneName');
  log("timeZoneName value is =>$timeZoneName",error: {"name":"Value or not"});
  tz.setLocalLocation(tz.getLocation(timeZoneName));
}

Solution

Are you working on an emulator ? By default, there is no timezone set. So you have to choose one so the GMT will not be null.

Have you tried to change the timezone in phone's settings ?

I was working on emulator and changing timezone from United States to France stopped crashing my app
