[Bug]: LOCATION UPDATE FAILURE:Error reason: (null)Error description: The operation couldn’t be completed. (kCLErrorDomain error 1.) #1555

alladyaditi · 2024-08-14T15:13:59Z

Please check the following before submitting a new issue.

I have searched the existing issues.
I have carefully read the documentation and verified I have added the required platform specific configuration.

Please select affected platform(s)

Steps to reproduce

Setup the Flutter app: Integrate the Geolocator package into a Flutter project.
Request location permissions: Include the necessary permissions (NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription, NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription, etc.) in the Info.plist file.
Invoke Geolocator: Attempt to retrieve the current location using Geolocator.getCurrentPosition() or listen to location updates using Geolocator.getPositionStream().
Run the app on an iOS device: Deploy the app to an iOS device (not an emulator) and monitor the logs for any errors.

Expected results

The app should request location permissions if not already granted, and then successfully retrieve the current location of the device, either once via getCurrentPosition() or continuously via getPositionStream().

Actual results

Unhandled Exception: The operation couldn’t be completed. (kCLErrorDomain error 1.)

Code sample

This is the logic i used in my code?

Future<void> _requestLocationPermission() async {
  if (_isRequestingPermission) return;

  _isRequestingPermission = true;
  try {
    var status = await Permission.locationWhenInUse.request();
    if (status.isGranted) {
      _loadInitialLocation();
    } else {
      // Handle permission denial
    }
  } finally {
    _isRequestingPermission = false;
  }
}

  // Future<void> _requestLocationPermission() async {
  //   var status = await Permission.locationWhenInUse.request();
  //   if (status.isGranted) {
  //     _loadInitialLocation();
  //   } else {
  //     // Handle permission denial
  //   }
  // }

  Future<void> _getCurrentLocation() async {
    _currentPosition = await geolocator.Geolocator.getCurrentPosition(locationSettings: const geolocator.LocationSettings(accuracy: geolocator.LocationAccuracy.high));
    if (!mounted) return;

    //_initialCameraOptions = _getCameraOptions(_currentPosition);
    _mapboxMap.flyTo(_getCameraOptions(_currentPosition), MapAnimationOptions(duration: 1000));
    _updateLocationPuck();
  }

  void _enableLocationUpdates() {
    geolocator.Geolocator.getPositionStream(
        locationSettings: const geolocator.LocationSettings(accuracy: geolocator.LocationAccuracy.high)
    ).listen((geolocator.Position position) {
      if (!mounted) return;

      setState(() {
        _currentPosition = position;
        _updateLocationPuck();
      });
    });
  }

TimHoogstrate · 2024-08-19T13:06:45Z

Dear @alladyaditi,

Thanks for your input. kCLErrorDomain Code 1 occurs when the user has denied your app access to location services. Can you check if the location services are enabled in : Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Your App.

Kind regards,

alladyaditi · 2024-08-19T13:25:06Z

They are enabled, location is enabled

alladyaditi · 2024-08-19T13:52:11Z

the location is only shown when the location is used on while using the app but not ask the next time or when I share

alladyaditi · 2024-08-19T15:15:05Z

the location shows once on the while using the app and then when I leave the page and comeback the user location button does not work and returns the error above

TimHoogstrate · 2024-08-20T12:19:05Z

Dear @alladyaditi,

The situation you describe seems like a different issue. The original issue seems to be resolved. Please file a new issue with clear steps to reproduce.

Kind regards

I also face with this issue. When I use getPositionStream to handle the foreground task, it work normally in the several times, but it throw error "The operation couldn’t be completed. (kCLErrorDomain error 1.)" after 1 minutes.

Library version:
geolocator: ^12.0.0
flutter_foreground_task: ^8.0.0
mapbox_maps_flutter: ^2.1.0

Flutter 3.22.3

But I have granted the location permission as while in use. Location service also enable.

When I run it in the foreground task. I setup the following setting in ios:
locationSettings = AppleSettings(
accuracy: LocationAccuracy.bestForNavigation,
activityType: ActivityType.fitness,
distanceFilter: DISTANCE_UPDATE.toInt(),
showBackgroundLocationIndicator: true,
allowBackgroundLocationUpdates: true,
);

However, when I set the always for location permission, it work correctly. So can you check it in the case of while in use because android work normally in this case.

Thank you.

Hi i am using workmanger but still i am still getting the same issues

alladyaditi · 2024-08-27T14:02:52Z

plese tell me what to do ?

tuyen3962 · 2024-08-28T02:37:57Z

I have fix this issue. It is not relevant the logic but It require some minor config which does not mention in this docs. But let me share with you guys to try. Because I can not find any solution about this issue in the flutter and iOS side, I switch to research in the React Native which handle the background location. You can follow this documents to setup two things: Privacy plist and one BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers in your info.plist

The link: https://github.com/Rapsssito/react-native-background-actions/blob/master/INSTALL.md

Hope this you guys and if this resolve your issue, please host update the document for further using

alladyaditi · 2024-08-28T04:14:14Z

Thanks, I'll check it out.

this is not work as well

tuyen3962 · 2024-08-30T04:12:24Z

huh, Are you using the getCurrentPosition function to update your location in the background?
In the background or foreground service task, I use the getPositionStream function and it work for me.

Sample code:
_locationSub = myLocationService
.listenChangeOfPosition(isBackground: true)
.listen((position) => onHandleNewPosition(position));

Stream listenChangeOfPosition({bool isBackground = false}) {
late LocationSettings locationSettings;

if (defaultTargetPlatform == TargetPlatform.android) {
  locationSettings = AndroidSettings(
    accuracy: LocationAccuracy.bestForNavigation,
    distanceFilter: DISTANCE_UPDATE.toInt(),
    forceLocationManager: true,
    intervalDuration: const Duration(seconds: 1),
  );
} else if (defaultTargetPlatform == TargetPlatform.iOS ||
    defaultTargetPlatform == TargetPlatform.macOS) {
  locationSettings = AppleSettings(
    accuracy: LocationAccuracy.bestForNavigation,
    activityType: ActivityType.fitness,
    distanceFilter: DISTANCE_UPDATE.toInt(),
    showBackgroundLocationIndicator: isBackground,
    allowBackgroundLocationUpdates: true,
  );
} else {
  locationSettings = LocationSettings(
    accuracy: LocationAccuracy.bestForNavigation,
    distanceFilter: DISTANCE_UPDATE.toInt(),
  );
}

return Geolocator.getPositionStream(locationSettings: locationSettings);

}

alladyaditi · 2024-08-30T16:43:00Z

Future _getCurrentLocation() async {
_currentPosition = await geolocator.Geolocator.getCurrentPosition(
locationSettings: const geolocator.LocationSettings(
accuracy: geolocator.LocationAccuracy.high));
if (!mounted) return;

//_initialCameraOptions = _getCameraOptions(_currentPosition);
_mapboxMap.flyTo(_getCameraOptions(_currentPosition),
    MapAnimationOptions(duration: 1000));
_updateLocationPuck();

}

void _enableLocationUpdates() {
geolocator.Geolocator.getPositionStream(
locationSettings: const geolocator.LocationSettings(
accuracy: geolocator.LocationAccuracy.high))
.listen((geolocator.Position position) {
if (!mounted) return;

setState(() {
  _currentPosition = position;
  _updateLocationPuck();
});

});
} this is my code

mcorbelli · 2024-09-02T18:15:02Z

the problem still exists. i created a simple app to retrieve the location via a button. very simple. the logic to retrieve the coordinates i took directly from the description of the geolocator package (and it is correct). looking carefully at the logs, the coordinates are correctly retrieved by the function, but then it breaks down and the exception LOCATION UPDATE FAILURE:Error reason: (null)Error description: The operation couldn't be completed. (kCLErrorDomain error 0.).

so the location is correctly retrieved, but it goes no further.

alladyaditi · 2024-09-02T18:29:40Z

That's weird. So it is a geolocater issue?

https://github.com/Rapsssito/react-native-background-actions/blob/master/INSTALL.md Do you follow this document to update the config in your info.plist?

If you want to run it in the foreground or background task, you have to turn on the location and the background config and force user to turn on the location service in their device.

And in the podfile, You have to remove the following line:

if target.name == "geolocator_apple"

#   target.build_configurations.each do |config|
#     config.build_settings['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] ||= ['$(inherited)', 'BYPASS_PERMISSION_LOCATION_ALWAYS=1']
#   end
# end

alladyaditi · 2024-09-05T13:48:02Z

if target.name == "geolocator_apple"

target.build_configurations.each do |config|

config.build_settings['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] ||= ['$(inherited)', 'BYPASS_PERMISSION_LOCATION_ALWAYS=1']

end

i dont have that
in my podfile

alladyaditi · 2024-09-05T13:48:48Z

target 'Runner' do
use_frameworks!
use_modular_headers!

flutter_install_all_ios_pods File.dirname(File.realpath(FILE))

end
