Geolocation iOS

[donaldparker]

Loads in the browser but not in the PWA.

What platform, device and browser + version?

in my case the solution was: https://stackoverflow.com/a/73566334
(change safari sites settings)

maybe it can help the issue's author too.

i would suggest to directly mention that in the message in the app. it's not so obvious that you should change safari geo settings – not the settings of whatpwacandotoday app nor enabling geo services in general.

i mean it becomes obvious when you think about how it works under the hood. but a little extra transparency won't hurt in my opinion.

Thanks for reporting, I'm currently investigating this. In your screen shot the dialog is shown when permission is denied but on my iOS device I notice there is nothing showing when Location Services for Safari websites is set to "Ask Next Time or When I Share".
When I then try in Safari, I do get the permission prompt and when I give permission the setting is automatically changed to "While Using the App" and after that it also works in the PWA.

In your solution, did you set a timeout in the options object for navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition and then Promise.race with a setTimeout with a slightly longer timeout?
