I get the following error at runtime when it tries to create a new instance of the Location class on iOS:
TypeError: undefined is not a constructor (evaluating 'new nativescript_geolocation_1.Location()')

Hi

I'm getting "nativescript_geolocation_1.Location is not a constructor" on android when tried to use: let myLocation = new Location();

I get the same error when I tried to getDistance() with nativescript-sdk-examples-ng....

Any idea?

@MentalRender Here's my comment from the other now closed ticket.

This issue stems from the fact that Location is defined in location.d.ts, but in reality is not exported by nativescript-geolocation module, so the following code compiles but fails at runtime.

import { isEnabled, enableLocationRequest, getCurrentLocation, Location, distance } from "nativescript-geolocation";

The solution is to import module that exports the class for real, which is nativescript-geolocation-common. The following code works correctly:

import { isEnabled, enableLocationRequest, getCurrentLocation, distance } from "nativescript-geolocation";
import { Location } from "nativescript-geolocation/nativescript-geolocation-common";

I don't know how such discrepancy between definition file and real code got into the release. Feel free to tag is a bug.

@MentalRender, thanks for investigating that.

The Location class is now exported by default and the issue is not reproducible anymore.
