Xamarin: A geolocation error occured: Unauthorized

Question

I'm trying to get the current location, and helpfully is working on UWP and iOS but when running it on Andriod it's showing Unhandled Exception.

Plugin.Geolocator.Abstractions.GeolocationException: A geolocation error occured: Unauthorized

And I already added permissions to my android manifest and it's like this:

AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION" />

<application android:label="Location1.Android">
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
       android:value="**googleAPI_KEY**" />
 <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
            android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

You are probably missing the code below in your OnCreate method of the main activity.

Plugin.CurrentActivity.CrossCurrentActivity.Current.Init(this, bundle);
