react-native-geolocation-service(^5.3.1) throws this error or app crashed when Geolocation.getCurrentPosition() is called. The error started getting after I have added react-native-maps(^1.8.0) library. It was working fine before. After doing a lot of search, i saw somewhere it was probably due to version mismatch of playservices from other modules.

react-native version – 0.72.3

In my android/build.gradle >
googlePlayServicesVersion = "17.0.0"

When i change googlePlayServicesVersion version then the build fails with the following message:
`* What went wrong:
