getCurrentPlace results in Api error Android (also in example)

[svengiebel]

First of all, thanks for the package! ⭐️

Currently i get an error in my application and in your example app (Only in Android):
When calling the RNGooglePlaces.getCurrentLocationPlace() method i get the following:

{ [Error: Error making places detection api call: ERROR] framesToPop: 1, code: 'E_PLACE_DETECTION_API_ERROR' }

Everything else is working without any problems. I also checked the permissions for my API Keys.

iOS is working great, so it has to be something with the keys?

Try it an actual android device and let me know if the issue still persists.

I was testing on an actual android device. its a Samsung Galaxy 4 with Android 7.0. I also tested it quickly with a Pixel2 and latest firmware. But i dont have that one available at the moment.

I see, would look further into this issue and get back to you, but in the meantime, I pulled in a PR so make sure you update to v2.5.2

Please ensure your device GPS location is on and above Lollipop version ACCESS_FINE LOCATION permission should be enable, because it worked for me.
