Strange Runtime Exception - codenameone

Question

I recently deleted my Netbeans Cache folder (/appdata/local/netbeans/cache/) and my codenameone apps that make use of the native google maps plugin have been acting up. I get a runtime exception at startup. Below is the stacktrace.
I have removed cn1 plugin from NB, downloaded new copy of the native maps cn1lib, cleaned and built and i still get the same error... please help.

Answer 1

This started happening to one other user I'm aware of (but not to everyone surprisingly) as a result of the change to remove the maps in location manager. We had to remove them as Google became far too strict with maps key generation strategies.
We have a fix for this and will post it later on today or tomorrow morning.
