Ch. 8.7 LocationManager: Getting Device Location with SwiftUI (Snacktacular app)

We'll build a small app with a LocationManager class so that we can get a device's location. The class is fairly easy to drop into new apps, and we'll eventually include this as part of Snacktacular, but first, in the lesson that follows we'll use the LocationManager to also allow the user to search a list of places and select one to retrieve name, address, and coordinate information.
Part of a university course by Prof. John Gallaugher designed for the absolute beginner, where students will learn to program using Swift + SwiftUI. The course will move from no assumed prior programming experience while students learn fundamental, then intermediate and advanced concepts, culminating in a full stack app. Full free course playlist at:

LocationManager Line 18 gives me this error: "Property 'self.location' not initialized at super.init call"

a little late, but for future viewers, it's probably because @Published var location: CLLocation was missing the "?"
It should be @Published var location: CLLocation?
