getCurrentPosition in JS does not work on iOS

Question

I have a page that contains a code that gets the current location from the device and load other stuff based on the location with this code:

if (navigator.ge         


        

Answer 1

GeoLocation works only if a user provides his/her permissions.

Make sure that is the case.

This CodePen demo has been tested in iOS simulator with Safari and successfully shown the latitude and the longitude.

var options = {
  enableHighAccuracy: true,
  timeout: 5000,
  maximumAge: 0
};

function log(data) {
  const tag = document.createElement('p');
  tag.textContent = data;
  document.body.appendChild(tag);
}

function success(pos) {
  var crd = pos.coords;
  console.log('Successfully determined a user position:', crd);

  log('Your current position is:');
  log(`Latitude : ${crd.latitude}`);
  log(`Longitude: ${crd.longitude}`);
  log(`More or less ${crd.accuracy} meters.`);
}

function error(err) {
  console.warn(`ERROR(${err.code}): ${err.message}`);
}

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(success, error, options);

It can't be the case if your code doesn't hit either if nor else unless some other code has triggered an infinite loop earlier in your code.
