The provided app has several issues. You are using some Capacitor 5 plugins but using Capacitor 4, that makes npm install fail because of peer dependency issues. Can be workaround by using npm install --force or yarn install. Then the native app doesn't build because the geolocation plugin requires latest google services version. Can be workaround by removing playServicesLocationVersion = '20.0.0' from android/variables.gradle so it uses the default value.

Once I did that, the app builds and I get the location properly.

Looks like you forgot to run npx cap sync after installing the plugin and that's why it's not finding it.
