Can you send screenshot? What is the app preview version?

[Andrea_V_1]

hi

I don't know the version of the APP but is the last present on Apple Store (IOS) and Play Store (ANDROID).

Hi Andrea, 

I am going to check out the sample. In the meantime, can you try the Hello Cordova sample? It also has geolocation. You might have better luck there. 

[Jeroen_v_1]

Since a couple of days (don't know exactly) all my geolocations projects don't work anymore. 

I am working on a Mac with intel 3084

If you need more info, let me know. 

When i use a clean hello Cordova this is the result :

Are you running this is the Emulate tab or in App Preview or in a built app? Based on the log messages, I'm guessing you are doing this in the Emulate tab. Try this in the Debug tab, do you get the same results?

[Jeroen_v_1]

In debug tab the app is running normally and showing GPS. 

Couple of weeks ago, the emulator tab also worked.  I used the geo location toolbar to test my app. 

Do you know why this is not working anymore? or is there a workaround?

[PaulF_IntelCorp]

I do not know why this is not working in the Emulate tab. We'll have to look into it. As a workaround, I recommend using the Debug tab, it will provide a much more accurate run and debug environment than the Emulate tab, especially when dealing with real device features, like geo.

[Jeroen_v_1 · Accepted solution]

changed version of geolocation to 03.11 and problem is solved. 

In debug and live it also works

[Amrita_C_Intel]

I am glad it is working for you
