Bug report best practices: Submitting Issues

Description

Android phones failes to fetch location sometimes. No errors are thrown and the awaited method call to GetLocationAsync() never returns.

When debugging the source code I find that the call to GetBestProvider in Geolocation.android.cs/PlatformLocationAsync method returns the passive location provider when the GPS provider is not available. This provider relies on other applications to fetch the location and does not actually initiate any request. I'm not a 100% sure that this is the cause, but relying on the passive provider to fetch could probably cause this if we are not running any other applications that are actively requesting locations themselves at the same time.

2. Call Geolocation.GetLocationAsync()

Never returns
