[SOLVED] GPS Location Service not working on Android 6.0.1?

Hi there!

I am currently making a small map app to learn a few new things. Everything so far is working fine expect for the location Input.

I am using:

Spoiler: Code

Code (CSharp):

1.     public static IEnumerator Start()
2.     {
3.  
4.         print("starting GPS LocationService");
5.         // First, check if user has location service enabled
6.         if (!Input.location.isEnabledByUser)
7.             yield break;
8.  
9.         // Start service before querying location
10.         Input.location.Start();
11.  
12.         print("starting GPS LocationService2 " + Input.location.status);
13.  
14.         // Wait until service initializes
15.         int maxWait = 20;
16.      
17.         while (Input.location.status == LocationServiceStatus.Initializing && maxWait > 0)
18.         {
19.             yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
20.             maxWait--;
21.         }
22.  
23.         // Service didn't initialize in 20 seconds
24.         if (maxWait < 1)
25.         {
26.             print("Timed out");
27.             yield break;
28.         }
29.  
30.         // Connection has failed
31.         if (Input.location.status == LocationServiceStatus.Failed)
32.         {
33.             print("Unable to determine device location");
34.             yield break;
35.         }
36.         else
37.         {
38.             // Access granted and location value could be retrieved
39.             print("Location: " + Input.location.lastData.latitude + " " + Input.location.lastData.longitude + " " + Input.location.lastData.altitude + " " + Input.location.lastData.horizontalAccuracy + " " + Input.location.lastData.timestamp);
40.         }
41.  
42.         // Stop service if there is no need to query location updates continuously
43.         //Input.location.Stop();
44.     }

And start it from my GameManagers Awake Methode using StartCoroutine(RPGPSLocationService.Start());
The problem is that nothing happens. I do get the "Location:..." output, but the coordinates are 0 0 0 0 and the service status is "stopped". If I try to access the location from another Class Unity always tells me to start my location Service first.

Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Its most likely something totally obvious, but I can't seem to find it :/.

EDIT: nearly forgot to mention it: I am using a nexus 5x 6.0.1 and android monitor (comes with the sdk) to test my code

Ok, so after I wrote my own little native Android gps script in java I tried my app on another Smartphone (5.0.2) and to my surprise the built in gps location worked nearly instantly. From the looks of it I would say that android 6 broke Unity's gps support. Can anyone confirm this? I don't want to file a bug report unless I am 100% certain.

And how long does it usually take for something like this to get fixed after I reported it? It really sucks for me that I can't use my main device for debugging anymore. :/

EDIT: Just tested it on the smartphones of a few of my friends. works fine on every android version below android 6.0.2. I decided to report this as a bug.

 

Ok, I reset my android 6.0.1 devices to a stock rom and them updated them all the way back to 6.0.1 and now everything works fine. idk why, but i guess this is solved.
