Xamarin form Geolocation task cancelled exception

Question

I am working on Xamarin form app with andorid, UWP and Windows 8 project. I am using Geolocation plugin created by Jamesmontemagno to get the current device location. It is

Answer 1

Try using the await keyword like it is used in the original code:

try
{
  var locator = CrossGeolocator.Current;
  locator.DesiredAccuracy = 50;

  var position = await locator.GetPositionAsync (timeoutMilliseconds: 10000);

  Console.WriteLine ("Position Status: {0}", position.Timestamp);
  Console.WriteLine ("Position Latitude: {0}", position.Latitude);
  Console.WriteLine ("Position Longitude: {0}", position.Longitude);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
  Debug.WriteLine("Unable to get location, may need to increase timeout: " + ex);
}

This should take care that there are no race condition and therefore TaskCancellationException.
