Check if the provider is null

I got the following error:

The android docs state the following:

This PR addresses the error and ensures that the library properly handles cases where no matching provider is found. I'm not a Java developer, so I appreciate your patience and feedback!

I believe this is the case when a device doesn't have a GPS (some tables for example do not have a GPS I believe).
But in this case I don't think there's a valid use case for an app that uses this plugin, right?

The error happend on the OnePlus 7 using Android 11. I think this phone should have a GPS.

I don't see a reason the provider should be null in this case...
While the app might not crash it will also not work properly as well.
I think a better solution should be provided...

[veitbjarsch]

The information the play console provides, indicates that the application crashed. I'm not an Java developer on android. So I don't really know why the provider could be null in this case, but as it looks like is. And also the documentation states, that the provider can return null.

As I said, the app won't crash but also won't work as well, so I'm not sure what's the gain here.
Did you try using this fork in production and see that the crashes are reduced?
