<p>You need to include the <code>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</code> key in Info.plist to enable geolocation when using the app. Geolocation is enabled by default when you create a project with <code>react-native init</code>.</p>
<p>In order to enable geolocation in the background, you need to include the 'NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription' key in Info.plist and add location as a background mode in the 'Capabilities' tab in Xcode.</p>

<p>To request access to location, you need to add the following line to your app's <code>AndroidManifest.xml</code>:</p>
<p><code>&lt;uses-permission android:name=&quot;android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION&quot; /&gt;</code></p>
<p>Android API &gt;= 18 Positions will also contain a <code>mocked</code> boolean to indicate if position was created from a mock provider.</p>
<p>
Android API >= 23 Requires an additional step to check for, and request
the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission using
the <a href="https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/permissionsandroid.html" target="_blank">PermissionsAndroid API</a>.
Failure to do so may result in a hard crash.
