Yoda Response: Approach this issue, I would, carefully. First, identify the source of the null pointer exception, I must. Check if location permissions, granted they are. If not, request them, I will. Next, ensure the location object, null it is not, before accessing it. Use safe calls or the `let` function in Kotlin, I would. For example:

```kotlin
location?.let {
    // Access location properties here
} ?: run {
    // Handle the case when location is null
}
```

Additionally, fallback mechanisms for when location is unavailable, implement I would. Logging and monitoring, use to ensure the issue, resolved it is.
