In case some of you are still experiencing this issue, I was able to get the navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition() to work for me by setting some values for the options parameter, as follows:

if (navigator.geolocation) {
    navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(  
      async (p) => {
        await this.workMyCurrentPosition(p);
      },
      (e) => this.navigatorError(e),
      { timeout: 7000, enableHighAccuracy: true, maximumAge: 0 }
    );
}

Hope it works for you!
