Platform(s)

ios

Current Behavior

After installing the plugin, building and syncing, and even adding required permissions in the info.plist, any call to the geolocation plugin causes a "not implemented on ios" error. The plugin seems to be missing from my Swift packages as well. Perhaps an issue involving using SPM vs pods.

Expected Behavior

A successful permissions check or successfully pulling geolocation information.

Other Technical Details

It was a pretty simple environment, a web app built with Vue and a new install of the plugin.

Hey @18sylvekay thanks for opening the issue.

I tried to reproduce this issue by creating a fresh Ionic Vue app with iOS and SPM, but I'm not getting the error - https://github.com/OS-pedrogustavobilro/capacitor-geolocation-issue-79

Can you share a simple reproduction app on GitHub to try and reproduce this error?

Hey @OS-pedrogustavobilro

Strange. I just created a small Capacitor app to test this on, and on my first test was able to duplicate the problem (see attached screenshot for error). However, I tested again after committing to a repository so that I could share, and it seems to have found the plugin now and correctly asks for permissions. I'm not sure what caused that flip, but I will work on triggering it on my production project.

@OS-pedrogustavobilro Okay, turns out it was an error on my side. The message was a bit misleading, but the issue was with one of my permissions keys in the info.plist was incorrect, and that seemed to cause the "not implemented" error. Thanks for your help with this.

[OS-pedrogustavobilro]

Hey @18sylvekay, if the permission keys https://capacitorjs.com/docs/apis/geolocation#ios in docs are incorrect, it will cause the plugin to not work at all. Although I wouldn't have thought it would cause that error in particular.

I'll be closing this issue then, but feel free to re-open if you're still having issues after setting the correct permissions in plist.

Thanks!
