Getting the same error, geolocation doesn't seem to work anymore in NS 5

Someone who knows how to fix this, please have a look 🥇 :D

@tbozhikov

I think that this is a bug, it is strange that we are few who had this issue and it is not labeled as a bug.
@tbozhikov @nsndeck can you help us?

Same problem here.

I have the same problem, and after doing some testing I understood that the problem occurs after the installation of google-map sdk. When I delete it it works just fine. Anyone has any updates onthis?

I fixed the problem by adding this file to App_Resources/Android

file name: before-plugins.gradle
content: android {
// other stuff here

project.ext {
googlePlayServicesVersion = "15.0.1"
}
}

content: android {
// other stuff here

project.ext {
googlePlayServicesVersion = "15.0.1"
}
}

@annadante, why version 15.0.1? And where did you find that information? Just in case I need to look up myself because of any mismatch. I used to have googlePlayServicesVersion = "+" which should force everything to the latest version.

Thank you ;)

I tried the "+" thing and it didn't work.

The information was commented in the app.gradle file in Android folder :D

@neumartin

Hi @neumartin ,
I've tested the plugin's demo and found that there is no issue with it. The problem that you observe is related to dependency which both nativescript-geolocation and nativescript-google-maps-sdk plugins are using. The googlePlayServicesVersion dependency should be used with same version for both plugins. So the solution of the issue, when building an app is to specify which version of the dependency should be used by both plugins. As suggested by @annadante you should add before-plugins.gradle file where the googlePlayServicesVersion should be specified:

android {
    project.ext {
        googlePlayServicesVersion = "15.0.1" 
    }
}

@DimitarTodorov

@DimitarTodorov thanks!, i will try.

This worked for me too. However, I don't get why I had to create a new statement if I had previously pinned on app.graddle the "googlePlayServicesVersion" version to be used...

I tried the solution listed above, but now I am getting:

The library com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement is being requested by various other libraries at [[15.0.1,15.0.1]], but resolves to 16.0.1. Disable the plugin and check your dependencies tree using ./gradlew :app:dependencies.

Any suggestions?

@dpdragnev

@dpdragnev can you please post the package.json content so I can investigate your case (It is probably a conflict in the support library version as suggested by the error which is caused by a plugins requiring specific support version)

Meanwhile, have you tried using before-plugins.gradle file to force a version

app/App_Resources/Android/before-plugins.gradle

android {  
  project.ext {
      googlePlayServicesVersion = "15.0.1"
  }
}

@NickIliev

@NickIliev Here is my package.json:

{
  "nativescript": {
    "id": "com.somecompany.someapp",
    "tns-ios": {
      "version": "4.2.4"
    },

      "version": "5.0.0"
    }
  },

    "nativescript-loading-indicator": "2.4.0",
    "nativescript-local-notifications": "3.1.0",
    "nativescript-plugin-firebase": "^7.3.0",
    "nativescript-theme-core": "~1.0.4",
    "tns-core-modules": "5.0.3"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "nativescript-dev-typescript": "~0.7.0",
    "nativescript-dev-webpack": "~0.15.0",
    "typescript": "~2.7.2"
  },
  "readme": "NativeScript Application"
}

I tried to add the before-plugins.gradle file and I cannot even build. I am getting a build error:

Failed to capture fingerprint of input files for task ':app:checkDebugClasspath' property 'compileClasspath' during up-to-date check.
> The library com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement is being requested by various other libraries at [[15.0.1,15.0.1]], but resolves to 16.0.1. Disable the plugin and check your dependencies tree using ./gradlew :app:dependencies.

I am supposed to release this app to the play store next week. What would you suggest I do if we cannot find a solution to this issue? Should I downgrade from 5.0 to v 4.*?

Thank you

@dpdragnev

@dpdragnev I am building a project with the exact same dependencies with no hassle. Looking at your error log the issue seems related to version mismatch of some Android libraries Update your Google Play Services to latest (details here)

Above (before-plugins.gradle) did not work for me but the approach described here: #156 (comment)

Instead of + I used version 15.0.1

If you do the before-plugins.gradle method.
You do not have to change app.gradle from googlePlayServicesVersion = "+".

This is what I tried first but it did not work for me. I have not investigated the reasons further as I found a good-enough solution.

@heese

@heese in my case ,when using this geolocation with firebase edit the following file

node_modules/nativescript-geolocation/platform/android/include.gradle
line 15 ...? project.googlePlayServicesVersion : "11.4.0"

update to ? project.googlePlayServicesVersion : "16.+"

i put the same value because booth firebase and geolocation use the same playService from google.

project.ext {
googlePlayServicesVersion = "16.+"
}
}

i know that`s not best solution but it work for me..

@DimitarTodorov

@DimitarTodorov before-plugins.gradle solution works. Maybe worth changing the github documentation as I was trying to set googlePlayServicesVersion = "16.+" on the app.gradle file which is applied after the plugins configuration.

applyBeforePluginGradleConfiguration()
applyPluginGradleConfigurations()
applyAppGradleConfiguration()

@NickIliev

Thanks @NickIliev @annadante for answers. it worked for me

android {  
  project.ext {
      googlePlayServicesVersion = "15.0.1"
  }
}

I fixed the problem by adding this file to App_Resources/Android

file name: before-plugins.gradle
content: android {
// other stuff here

project.ext {
googlePlayServicesVersion = "15.0.1"
}
}

Cool, Thats work for me
