Geocoder plugin not working

Ionic Native
1

I installed the geocoder plugin in my Ionic 3 App, added it to appmodule.ts, and because it is not supported by DevApp, I build it on iOS platform and tested on a device. I am getting an error and the coordinates are not returned.

Here is my code in home.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NavController } from 'ionic-angular';
import { NativeGeocoder, NativeGeocoderForwardResult, NativeGeocoderOptions } from '@ionic-native/native-geocoder';

@Component({
  selector: 'page-home',
  templateUrl: 'home.html'
})
export class HomePage {
lat: string;
long: string;
error: boolean;

  constructor(public navCtrl: NavController, private nativeGeocoder: NativeGeocoder) {

  }

ionViewDidLoad() {

  let options: NativeGeocoderOptions = {
    useLocale: true,
    maxResults: 5
};

  this.nativeGeocoder.forwardGeocode('Berlin', options)
  .then((coordinates: NativeGeocoderForwardResult[]) => 
{  console.log('The coordinates are latitude=' + coordinates[0].latitude + ' and longitude=' + coordinates[0].longitude);
   this.lat = coordinates[0].latitude;
   this.long = coordinates[0].longitude;
   this.error = false;
})
  .catch((error: any) => {console.log(error)
  this.error = true;});
}

}

Here is my code in home.html

<ion-content padding>
    <p>LAT: {{lat}}</p>
    <p>LONG: {{long}}</p>
    <p>ERROR: {{error}}</p>
</ion-content>

The output shows ERROR: true meaning that the plugin returned an error and of course latitude and longitude does not show.

Here are the messages I got while installing the plugin:

}

How can I debug this? I cannot see the error message in the console because I am testing on a device and do not know even what the problem could be.

I really would love to use the plugin instead of a third-party service.

Thanks.
