Importing the "Geolocation" module causes app to break

I'm submitting a ... (check one with "x") [ x ] bug report [ ] feature request [ ] support request => Please do not submit support requests here, use one of these channels: https://forum.ionicframework.com/ or https://ionicworldwide.herokuapp.com/

Current behavior: When I try to import the Geolocation module in Ionic 4, the app totally breaks and throws the following error:

https://i.gyazo.com/68f0fcf217c4a4d9287387e74935d7f8.png

"Object(...) is not a function"

I've been trying to make various fixes that seemed to be around the web, like installing the 6th version of rxjs and rxjs-compat, but nothing seems to have any effect. Actually, I don't even need to use the module anywhere; the app breaks by just setting it up in the main module as a provider.

Expected behavior: Should be perfectly usable and not break the app... or at least, give a message developers can troubleshoot.

Steps to reproduce:

• Created a new Ionic 4 Angular app
• Installed all the dependencies
• Had the app running and tried it in my mobile
• Install ionic native packages, and the cordova geolocation plugin (app still works at this point).
• Import the module in the main component as a provider => app starts to break with that bug.

I am having the same issue

[Tgure]

@Zerokk Are you using ionic native version 5.0.0-beta.14 for geolocation? And in app.module when you import Geolocation does the import path end with /ngx like this import { Geolocation } from '@ionic-native/geolocation/ngx';?

[danielsogl]

You installed the wrong version. You have to install the beta release: npm install @ionic-native/geolocation@beta

I have the same issue and the npm install @ionic-native/geolocation@beta doesn't work eithe. And I don't know what to do
