Flutter: E/GoogleMapController( 4641): Cannot enable MyLocation layer as location permissions are not granted

Question

I cannot display the current location of my mobile device. The error is: E/GoogleMapController( 4641): Cannot enable MyLocation layer as location permissions are not granted and E/flutter ( 4641): [ERROR:flutter/lib/ui/ui_dart_state.cc(209)] Unhandled Exception: No location permissions are defined in the manifest. Make sure at least ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION or ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION are defined in the manifest.

Please see code below.

import 'dart:async';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:geolocator/geolocator.dart';
import 'package:google_maps_flutter/google_maps_flutter.dart';
class TestScreen extends StatelessWidget {
  static const String idScreen = "testScreen";
  Completer<GoogleMapController> _controller = Completer();
  late GoogleMapController newGoogleMapController;
  static final CameraPosition _kGooglePlex = CameraPosition(
    target: LatLng(37.42796133580664, -122.085749655962),
    zoom: 14.4746,
  );
  static final CameraPosition _kLake = CameraPosition(
      bearing: 0,
      target: LatLng(14.619256, 121.089854),
      tilt: 0,
      zoom: 19.151926040649414);
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Scaffold(
      body: GoogleMap(
        mapType: MapType.normal,
        initialCameraPosition: _kGooglePlex,
        myLocationEnabled: true,
        zoomGesturesEnabled: true,
        zoomControlsEnabled: true,
        onMapCreated: (GoogleMapController controller) {
          _controller.complete(controller);
        },
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton.extended(
        onPressed: _goToTheLake,
        label: Text('To the lake!'),
        icon: Icon(Icons.directions_boat),
      ),
    );
  }
  late Position currentPosition;
  var geoLocator = Geolocator();
  Future<void> _goToTheLake() async {
    Position position = await Geolocator.getCurrentPosition(
        desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.high);
    currentPosition = position;
    LatLng latLngPosition = LatLng(position.latitude, position.longitude);
    CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition(
        target: latLngPosition, zoom: 14);
    newGoogleMapController.animateCamera(
        CameraUpdate.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));
    }
  }
