PI70478 APP FAILED ON ANDROID DEVICES AFTER INSTALLED IFIX 7.1.0.00.20160919-1915
Until it is fixed via an iFix, you can workaround this issue by removing the following from the generated config.xml in the Android project:
<feature name="Geolocation">
<param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.geolocation.GeoBroker" />
</feature>
