Can i have your opinion regarding monitoring/listening location from android and iOS device and using the common to send the data to the server. (This is an MPP/shared library project). Im having a hard time since we dont have plugins or libraries that handles location from multiplatform project. Thanks!

It shouldn't be that hard, really - the Location API's of Android and iOS are not that dissimilar for a start.

Both have permissions that can be checked for, a

start

and

stop

lifecycle and a call-back with location to a known position, accuracy, time-stamp etc.

Abstract the common behaviours between the two, into your common source set as an interface e.g.

LocationProvider

. Create a common model

data class

to represent returned locations, too.

Then implement an adapter style class to the API's of the Android and iOS platforms in their respective source-sets e.g.

AndroidLocationProvider

and

iOSLocationProvider

No plugins or libraries needed. 👌
