CrossPlatformLocation Delphi 12.1 and Delphi 13

[uworktify-blip]

Hi,

I was using CrossPlatformLocation on Delphi 11.3 CE successfully without any issues. After my 11.3 CE license expired, I upgraded and tried using the latest CrossPlatformLocation version with Delphi 12.1 and Delphi 13. However, the background location service now causes the entire app to crash once the user grants "Allow all the time" location access on Android 12.

Steps done:

1. compile the demo CrossPlatformLocation service with Delphi 12.1 on Android 64 bits
2. compile the demo CrossPlatformLocation app with Delphi 12.1 on Android 64 bits
3. The android app runs and ask for location permission. After the all location permision are given the app crashes.

This really should have been reported to the issues area, however the code as-is works OK on my Pixel3a (Android 12). Can you rename the .apk file to change the extension to .zip, and attach it here?

CrossPlatformLocationD12.zip

Yes, there are a couple of issues at play, here. I wasn't planning on updating this demo, however the replacement for it I am working on is yet to be ready, so if there's not much to do to fix this one, I'll get to it before next week.

Sorry about the delay - I have another solution in the works. Hopefully over the weekend.

I ended up turning it into a session for CodeRage 2025, which goes live on Dec 5th, US time. Please check here:
https://coderage.embarcadero.com. I'll make the code available after the session.
