6.0

This release contains breaking API changes:

• The following methods do not return results anymore:

  suspend fun requestLocationPermissions()
suspend fun requestEnableLocationSettings()

  The reason for the change is that waiting for an ActivityResult
  and holding onto the coroutine continuation meanwhile is inherently
  unsafe.

  Users should observe the following flows to get the results:

  • permissionStatus
  • settingsStatus

Non-breaking API changes:

• New builders:
  • ComponentActivity.locationFetcher(config: LocationFetcher.Config.() -> Unit)
  • Context.locationFetcher(config: LocationFetcher.Config.() -> Unit)

Other changes:

• Added configuration option isWaitForAccurateLocation for LocationRequest
  providers.
• Receive location on a worker thread.
• Bump versions and migrate gradle files from Groovy to Kotlin (.kts).
• Depend on ComponentActivity instead of FragmentActivity.
