When using the geolocation.getCurrentPosition API on mobile, tested iOS at the moment, users are prompted more than once through a session depending on the page. In comparison to as desktop site, such as Chrome on Windows 10, where once a user hits Allow they will no longer be prompted for permissions unless explicitly disabled. iOS Safari seems to be session based and then possibly page based within session?

Wondering if anyone knows if there are explicit rules defined by Apple for this permission check? Also does maximumAge play a role in how often the user is prompted?

  const LOCATION_OPTIONS = {
   timeout: 15000,
   enableHighAccuracy: true,
   maximumAge: 86400000,
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    const { geolocation } = navigator;

    // If the geolocation is not defined in the used browser we handle it as an error
    if (!geolocation) {
      setError("Geolocation is not supported.");
      return;
    }

    // Call Geolocation API
    geolocation.getCurrentPosition(handleSuccess, handleError, options);
  }, [options]);

  return { location, error };
