CLLocationManager EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION

Question

I'm using GoogleMaps for my app and I properly setup everything from the Info.plist, locationManager...didChangeAuthorization using requestWhenInUseAuthorization how every I still get stuck with error

EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION

even though I set it properly. Here is my code below.

locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
let camera = GMSCameraPosition.camera(withTarget: (self.locationManager.location?.coordinate)!, zoom: zoomLevel)
self.mapView = GMSMapView.map(withFrame: CGRect.zero, camera: camera)
self.view = self.mapView
self.initializeTheLocationManager()
self.mapView.isMyLocationEnabled = true

here is my locationManager delegate

func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didChangeAuthorization status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
    if status == .authorizedAlways || status == .authorizedWhenInUse {
        mapView.delegate = self
        manager.startUpdatingLocation()
    } else {
        manager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
    }
}

Note: It seems that I requested twice for requestWhenInUseAuthorization.

This cannot work.

startUpdatingLocation works asynchronously. You have to implement didUpdateLocations.

    locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
    locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
}

...

func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
    let camera = GMSCameraPosition.camera(withTarget: (locations[0].coordinate, zoom: zoomLevel)
    self.locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation()
    self.mapView = GMSMapView.map(withFrame: CGRect.zero, camera: camera)
    self.view = self.mapView
    self.initializeTheLocationManager()
    self.mapView.isMyLocationEnabled = true
}
