Expected behavior return result(any result)

Tested on:

• iOS, Version 13.3.1, iPhone 6s

Other plugins:

• No other pugins

Steps to reproduce:

1. Turn off location services.
2. Open the app
3. Try to get location
4. Go to settings and enable location services
5. Back to app and try to get location. getLocation never returns!

Example code: Create new flutter project and add location to pub spec. Then use this code in main.dart

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:location/location.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);

  final String title;

  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  Location location = Location();
  bool _serviceEnabled;
  PermissionStatus _permissionGranted;
  LocationData _locationData;

  void _getLocation() async {
    print('Check if service is enabled');
    _serviceEnabled = await location.serviceEnabled();
    if (!_serviceEnabled) {
      _serviceEnabled = await location.requestService();
      if (!_serviceEnabled) {
        return;
      }
    }

    print('Has permissions');
    _permissionGranted = await location.hasPermission();
    if (_permissionGranted == PermissionStatus.denied) {
      _permissionGranted = await location.requestPermission();
      if (_permissionGranted != PermissionStatus.granted) {
        return;
      }
    }

    print('Try to get location');
    _locationData = await location.getLocation();
    print(_locationData);
    setState(() {});
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: <Widget>[
            Text(
              'Location:',
            ),
            Text(
              _locationData != null
                  ? '${_locationData.toString()}'
                  : 'no location',
              style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headline6,
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: _getLocation,
        child: Icon(Icons.location_on),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Hi all, I believe that your Simulators aren’t working as expected due to there being no location set for it to use. I’ve opened #358 which adds steps on how to do this to the README 😃

I don’t get why this was closed. The issue ocur in real hardware too. (iOS 13) Steps to reproduce:

1. Disable Location Services
2. Open the App and instantiate Location()
3. Check permissions or try to check if service is enabled.
4. Enable the service.
5. Go back to App (Don’t matter if the app has permission or you are giving permissions now)
6. Try to get location
7. The method NEVER returns.
