You are facing this issue on Android or iOS?

@vikrantnegi I am facing this issue on Android

AndroidManifest.xml

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

package.json "react": "16.8.6", "react-native": "0.60.5", "react-native-geolocation-service": "^3.1.0", "@react-native-community/geolocation": "^2.0.2",

The issue is not related to the repo itself but the location permission. I believe you might also need to request for permission. You can try using react-native-permission.

I will try to update the repo with the latest react native and add geolocation.

Please help I am also facing same issue which is undefined is not an object (evaluating 'navigator.geolocation.watchPosition') .

Please use react-native-geolocation-service navigator API.
