Geolocation does not work on iOS 16.4.1 (a) #32

Geolocation does not work on iOS 16.4.1 (a). I always get a "Your device does not have the permission to access GPS information. Please enable this in your device's settings".

It does not matter if I just open the webpage or as PWA (after "Add to home screen"). I never get asked if I want to allow geolocation. And different to notifications in PWA, I also can't see a "location" option in my System app settings to configure permissions.

This is probably sistem setting on your phone, search for location in your phone settings and select your browser. Change that setting to ask or allow. I noticed, that if location settings for browser are set to never, there is no permission prompt for location, even if JS requires current position or watch position.

As @carliblaz mentioned you need to go to your iPhone settings and then go to Privacy & Security > Location Services > Safari Websites and then select “Ask next time or when I share” or “While using the app”.
