SecurityException: "fused" location provider requires ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission.

Found this SecurityException in my Crashlytics reports after integrating your sdk. Let me know How I can handle this issue.

Fatal Exception: java.lang.SecurityException: "fused" location provider requires ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission.

I had the same issue when the location permission got removed while smartlocation was running.

Obviously this check should wrap the if(singleUpdate) one

smart-location-lib/library/src/main/java/io/nlopez/smartlocation/location/providers/LocationManagerProvider.java

Line 52 in 8939ae9

if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(mContext, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)

In the meantime, one can silently catch the exception by registering a custom exception handler after crashlytics init Application#onCreate()

/**
 * To be registered after Crashlytics init
 * Catch for https://github.com/mrmans0n/smart-location-lib/issues/277
 */
private void handleSmartLocationExceptionSilently() {
    final Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler defaultExceptionHandler = getDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler();
    setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler((t, e) -> {
        if (e != null && e.getStackTrace() != null
                && e.getStackTrace().length > 6
                && e.getStackTrace()[6].toString().contains("io.nlopez.smartlocation")
                && e.getMessage() != null
                && e.getMessage().contains("location provider requires")) {
            return;
        }
        if (defaultExceptionHandler != null) {
            defaultExceptionHandler.uncaughtException(t, e);
        }
    });
}
