On Android in release mode, getLocation fails intermittently with PlatformException (null object reference)

[dixiak]

Works fine in Debug mode and about 50% of the time in Release.
The rest of the time it just throws an exception.

Tested on:

• Android, API Level 33 real device
• Android, API Level 30 real device
• Emulator, API Level 33 - Does not repro!

Other plugins:
grpc: ^3.1.0
connectivity_plus: ^4.0.2
location: ^5.0.3
