Location Sensor Unable to retrieve location with cellular data

Hi there,

Unfortunately, this seems to be an issue with Expo, who provide the framework we use to build apps.

You can see discussion of this behavior on Expo’s Github here.

Thunkable team member Jose has deployed a partial fix.

Depending on your version of Android, you may need to set EnableHighAccuracy to false for Location Sensor to work as expected on your device. I use Android 11 and I don’t need to do this, but Jose reports needing to do this for Location Sensor to work on Android 10.

Unfortunately, since this is an issue with Expo, this won’t be completely resolved until Expo deploy a fix of their own. They have promised for this fix to come out in Expo v43.
