Please check the following before submitting a new issue.

Please select affected platform(s)

  • Android
  • iOS
  • Linux
  • macOS
  • Web
  • Windows

Steps to reproduce

In an Android app, request GeoLocator.getCurrentPosition().

First time is fast. I use "medium".

Then, either kill the app and re-open, or, do a hot reload if debugging.

Second time, or perhaps one or two times after, the app will hang during getCurrentPosition.

Expected results

It should again work fast after killing the app and restarting.

Actual results

After opening the app, closing the app, then re-opening, (maybe cycle that 1-3 times), Geolocator will hang for 16-20 seconds before finally getting a position.

Code sample

Code sample 
  Future<Position> getCurrentLocation() async {
    const locationSettings = LocationSettings(
      accuracy: LocationAccuracy.medium, // Medium accuracy (100-500m)
    );
    final position = await Geolocator.getCurrentPosition(
      locationSettings: locationSettings,
    );
    return position;
  }

@corepuncher,

How did you test this, on a simulator? Or a real device?

Kind regards,

Real device. Galaxy S23+

At first I thought it was happening only when hot reloading during debugging.

However, when running the app alone on the device (debug OR release build), startup was also delayed after closing the app and immediately restarting.

Can confirm this is an issue. This doesn't happen if I set LocationAccuracy.high

I noticed that when the long hang/timeout occurs, there is no "location" symbol in the top status bar. Once the symbol finally appears, everything proceeds quickly. I wonder what it is "waiting" for?

Also, can confirm that "high" does not have the issue. But Low and Medium both do. "reduced" does NOT have the issue either.

"hang" times are typically 10-20 seconds.
