Geolocation

The Geolocation API follows the web spec: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Geolocation

iOS

You need to include the NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription key in Info.plist to enable geolocation. Geolocation is enabled by default when you create a project with react-native init.

Android

To request access to location, you need to add the following line to your app's AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

Geolocation support for Android is planned but not yet open sourced. See Known Issues.

Methods
