I feel betrayed. My first time using the Google Play Location Services and I don't think I've been told everything.
All worked well in testing on my devices. I used PRIORITY_LOW_POWER. Boom - now the app is out in the field, and complaints are coming in. I don't know if it is everyone, or a small subset. I found out it didn't work if the Location Mode is set to Device Only. I didn't know that. I tried it and it doesn't fail - it just never gets a location, and never has a At least one person said that it still didn't work if he did that. I am checking on whether we didn't correctly do the check of whether Google Play Services is up to date, but I have no way of testing that code - I'd just have to ship it and hope it works. I don't find anything mentioned about what settings the user needs here: https://developer.android.com/training/location/receive-location-updates.html I don' understand why I can't even get the last location when it is on Device Only. Are there other gotchas with this and best practices for communicating this to the user?
