upgrading to googlePlayServicesVersion 21.0.1

[trne]

Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

Today I used patch-package to patch react-native-geolocation-service@5.3.1 for the project I'm working on.

Here is the diff that solved my problem:

Thanks @trne

This resolved an issue I was experiencing on Android for the error (see image)

Thank you guys ! I've had this issue and updating the versioning to

playServicesLocationVersion = "21.0.1"

in my build.gradle. It works. Along side with

googlePlayServicesVersion = "18.0.0"

I've also run

npx patch-package react-native-geolocation-service

after modifying

-def DEFAULT_GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION = "18.0.0"
+def DEFAULT_GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION = "21.0.1"

in node_modules/react-native-geolocation-service/android/build.gradle

I think there is a related PR waiting to be merged. So this might be fixed in near future i hope

Thank you guys for this patch, this have saved my from a conflict with react-native-maps. But know I'm concerned about the status of this repo, the PR with the solution has been staled for long time...

Anyone have recommendations of packages to migrate for?
