Answer 1

Try with react-native-geolocation

Install it first:

npm install @react-native-community/geolocation --save

react-native link @react-native-community/geolocation

Then, to request access to location, you need to add the following line to your app's AndroidManifest.xml

Then use it on your app:

import Geolocation from '@react-native-community/geolocation';

Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(info => console.log(info));
