this has SWIFT TASK CONTINUATION MISUSE: currentLocation leaked its continuation!

Hey, thanks for letting me know! Did you get this error from Xcode? This code is a bit old, I'll test it again and fix it.

Had this error "SWIFT TASK CONTINUATION MISUSE: currentLocation leaked its continuation without resuming it. This may cause tasks waiting on it to remain suspended forever." in my code so was searching how other people do it. Looks like your code has the same issue.

Solved! I've updated the location manager so a continuation is always resumed, in every code path. Thanks for the feedback!
