Same issue here on android, react-native-geolocation: 2.0.2, react-native: 0.61.5.

Error: @react-native-community/geolocation: NativeModule.RNCGeolocation is null.

Has anyone found a fix/workaround?

Make sure you have pod 'react-native-geolocation', path: '../node_modules/@react-native-community/geolocation' in your pod file

Hi @zyonnetworks !

On Android device, i have just tried to use the 'react-native-geolocation-service' and it really worked for me!

yarn add react-native-geolocation-service

As the API format is really similar, I had just to change the import line. Please, check it out!

// import Geolocation from '@react-native-community/geolocation';
import Geolocation from 'react-native-geolocation-service';

Thats all! Thanks!

For me building failed after I installed it with yarn, but removing it, cleaning everything, and then reinstalling with npm instead fixed it for me. Here are the steps I took:

yarn remove @react-native-community/geolocation
cd ios
pod deintegrate
navigate back to the project with …/
npm install @react-native-community/geolocation --save
cd ios
pod install
watchman watch-del-all && rm -rf $TMPDIR/react-* && rm -rf node_modules/ && npm cache verify && npm install && npm start – --reset-cache
close terminal windows with this and metro bundler and anything else related to react native
open a new window and react-native run-ios

This error + solution is for RN 0.60+. Did you react-native link react-native-geolocation?

already did ‘react-native link @react-native-community/geolocation’ , I also tried manually linked, but still get the same error

problem solved, just downgrade the version “@react-native-community/geolocation”: “1.4.2”

I was having the same issue. But after stopping the packager, cleaning my build in Xcode, and then running pod install it worked fine
