PlatformException fired when longitude is negative in locationFromAddress method on iOS about flutter-geocoding HOT 4 CLOSED

@Rahuvich we have just release version 1.0.4 of the geocoding plug-in.

After some internal discussions we decided not to return null but a custom exception explaining clearly the address was not found. So in your case you can use the code like this:

List<Location> locations = null;

try {
    locations = await locationFromAddress("81 Allée Joseph Pascal 31500 Pau");
} on NoResultFoundException {
    // Handle "No results found for the address"
    ...
}

Will be closing this issue now, but please leave a message if you have any questions.

@Rahuvich thank you for submitting this issue. I have looked into it and found that in this case Apple cannot find a result for the given address (according to Apple's definition "kCLErrorDomain Code=8" means "kCLErrorGeocodeFoundNoResult".

Of course this should not be something that causes a crash on the geocoding plugin and I will be working on that to make sure the geocoding plug-in will return a null (as is also the case on Android, if the Android implementation cannot do the translation).

@mvanbeusekom Thank you, that would be awesome. 👍

Just experienced that on Android like @mvanbeusekom mentioned.
I moved my code to a try-catch block and create a dummy Placemark in the the catch block with "unknown address" to handle this.
