IllegalArgumentException: Negative latSpan

I saw this crash in Crashlytics of my app. And i have no clue what could be wrong.

Anyone have any suggestions why this crash could happen?

Fatal Exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Negative latSpan: -38.62544418468382

p.s. I don't use mock location provider in my app.

EDIT 1: added bug report. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/168724192
Not sure why though, because google usually just doesn't care.

Solution

  • As answered by google team in https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/168724192 The issue is caused by "My location" button.

    This issue could be avoided by implementing your own "My location" button. with necessary checks.

    I checked with our other app that has custom "my location" button. And it seems that this could be a viable solution, even tough i didn't implemented any specific checks in that product.

    Edit: Btw my way of checking was through Firebase crashlytics. Project with default "My location" button has These kind of crashes and the project with custom button - doesn't.
