Description

This plugin is so close to what I'm looking for, namely the way to get the closest street address for a given location (lat/lng pair). Looks like I just need implementation of the getFromLocation geocoder function.

I'll submit this as a feature request; perhaps others are looking for this, too.

Research direction

Start by locating the getFromLocation geocoder function and reading how the plugin exposes native geocoding APIs for Android and iOS. Implement reverse geocoding for a latitude/longitude pair using the platform APIs, then verify that the closest street address is returned consistently on both platforms.
