Random crash while retrieving the lat/long using worklight 6.2 Android acquireGeoPosition API

Question

My Android app tries to retrieve the current location of the device using the Worklight Android API acquireGeoPosition.

The geo policy details are as mentioned below -

    WLGeoAcquisitionPolicy geoPolicy = WLGeoAcquisitionPolicy.getLiveTrackingProfile();
    geoPolicy.setTimeout(60000); 
    geoPolicy.setMaximumAge(15000);

Couple of times, I have noticed app crashing with the below stacktrace that says 'altitude must be non-negative, was -500.0'. Any clues on what could have triggered this crash pls...

Answer 1

This has been identified as a possible defect.

To have it investigated as well as receive a fix, you need to have the customer open a PMR for IBM so that an iFix could be provided, once available.
