   add this to the app.gradle

   project.ext {
          googlePlayServicesVersion = "15.0.1"
   }
   dependencies {
      def googlePlayServicesVersion = project.googlePlayServicesVersion
      compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:$googlePlayServicesVersion"
   }

   Adding on to vforv's answer, I created a file called before-plugins.gradle in the same directory as app.gradle and added in the following content (NativeScript loads the file automatically):

   android {
       project.ext { 
           googlePlayServicesVersion = "16.+"
       }
       dependencies {
           def googlePlayServicesVersion = project.googlePlayServicesVersion
           compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:$googlePlayServicesVersion"
       }
   }
   

   This solved it for me.

   I found that it could be a combination of things, please make sure to include this information in the readme:

   If you guys installed this using the companion app (Nativescript-sidekick) you will find that you MUST use the tool to install dependencies and plugins, if for some reason you switch to the CLI, make sure to delete and recreate your configurations, looks like the files created by these are different.

   So in my case:

   • Added these lines into AndroidManifest.xml:

   	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
   	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
   

   In theory, these permissions should be included automatically.

   Now, this didn't solve my problem, I use a combination of GoogleMaps and Geolocalization, and other plugins, these plugins set up or add/use configurations of GooglePlayServices, this is a problem, it means we need to match the version of the services, in this case, I will use the nice hook that @neil-119 uses, ( i didn't know Nativescript handles before, after plugins.). This makes my configuration work.

   Now, something I found by playing around:

   You can do this:

   Geo.enableLocationRequest();
   Geo.getCurrentLocation(
   { desiredAccuracy: Accuracy.high/any, maximumAge: 5000, timeout: 10000 }
              ).then((result) => {
                   console.log(JSON.stringify(result));
               })
               .catch((err) => {
                   console.log("loc error", err);
               });
   

   And also this:

   Geo.enableLocationRequest(true)
           .then(() => {
               Geo.isEnabled().then(isLocationEnabled => {
                   console.log('result is '+isLocationEnabled);
                   if(!isLocationEnabled) {
                       return;
                   }
   
                   Geolocation.getCurrentLocation({}) // default
                   .then(result => {
                       console.log('loc result', result);
                   })
                   .catch(e => {
                       console.log('loc error', e);
                   });
               });
           });
   

   I hope this solves problems and speeds up your dev, it took me almost a day to find these problems for my current configuration. Cheers.
