[Android] [@nativescript/geolocation] Cannot watch location. Call "enableLocationRequest" first #606

Description

I call watchLocation properly after enableLocationRequest but I am getting Cannot watch location. Call "enableLocationRequest" first error message.

Other weird behavior:

  • It seems even if I allow the location permission, it forgets and requests it again.
  • the docs says watchLocation is now async in order to check for permissions before attempting to watch but this is meaningless this way, since still the callback sends the location, this part is very unclear, and I couldn't find any examples for v9

"@nativescript/geolocation": "^9.0.0",

Code:

    Geolocation.enableLocationRequest(true, true).then(() => {
      Geolocation.watchLocation(
        location => {
             console.log(location);
         },
        e => {
          console.log('watchLocation ERROR:', e);
        },
        {
          //Specifies desired accuracy in meters.
          desiredAccuracy: CoreTypes.Accuracy.any,
          updateDistance: 300,
          updateTime: 10000,
          minimumUpdateTime: 1000
        }
      ).then(()=>{
        console.log('WHAT IS THIS FOR?')
      })

UPDATE:
Downgrading to 8.3.1 solved all the issues and everything is working. I am on API 35.
So this is clearly a bug with 9.0.0 or the documentation is inaccurate and I should do something differently.
