Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by creating or running a minimal Android app with safe_device ^1.1.8 and geolocator ^13.0.1 in pubspec.yaml, then confirm the startup hang and main-thread warning. Trace the Android startup path to determine which package interaction causes the UI to stall; done means the app loads normally with both dependencies.
