All callbacks return undefined

[ChrisAelbrecht]

I created an Ionic project to convert an existing AngularJS webapp to a hybrid app. Works perfectly.

I added cordova-plugin-geolocation to get the geolocation working, which did, but I saw that the corodova.plugins.diagnostic has better support, so I added that. However, to get that working I had to add to index.html <script src="cordova.js"></script> which wasn't in before.

So, I now try to get the location authorization when the app loads as follows:

$ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
    if (window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins) {
        console.log('Cordova plugins ready');
        if (window.cordova.plugins.diagnostic) {
            console.log('Diagnostic plugin ready');
            window.cordova.plugins.diagnostic.getLocationAuthorizationStatus(evaluateGeolocationAuthorizationStatus, onGeolocationAuthorizationError);
        }
    }
});

When looking in the console I do see Diagnostic plugin ready, but nothing happens. When I run in the chrome console window.cordova.plugins.diagnostic.getLocationAuthorizationStatus(function(status) {console.log('status: ' + status)}, function(error) {console.log (error)}); I get undefined.

When I try the classical window.navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onSuccess, onError, options) I also get undefined.

When I remove <script src="cordova.js"></script> I don't have access to window.cordova, but now the callback of window.navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPositionworks again.

So, in short: adding <script src="cordova.js"></script> prevents these callbacks.

I already removed and added again the Android platform, but all stays the same. Can anyone help?

Thank you!
