Hello,

GetLocation is not working while offline.

It gives me this error: OS-PLUG-GLOC-0016 - Location settings error.

MABS V11.1

It was tested on an Android v12 phone.

GPS was turned on.

Can someone tell me what might be the solution for this?

Thanks in advance.

- GetLocation and WatchPosition - Allow to retrieve location when device has no network or no Play Services. This option can be disabled - see EnableLocationFallback input parameter for more information.

Hi,
You might be using HighAccuracy as true for Location Action;

Try using :
- Set EnableHighAccuracy as False while populating location

Confirm below:
1- Permissions

"permissions": [ "android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION", "android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION", "android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION" ]

2- make sure you're usign latest version of component

Good Luck
