By using kivy and plyer GPS an app to fetch current location and store in firebase database can be made using below code.

Code For GPS App using kivy in Python:

from kivymd.app import MDApp
from kivy.uix.screenmanager import ScreenManager, Screen

Example().run()

Thus By writing above code and  building an apk file using buildozer.we can make GPS app using kivy in python.
