I created a PWA that requires access to users' geolocation to perform a certain action in the system. The correct operation would be the user opens the application, and then the operating system prompts them to allow sharing their exact location with the PWA. However, this is not happening with a few users who have iPhone 11 or XR. I tested it on iPhones 14, 13, 11 Pro, and even iPhone 6, and it works as expected. I directly spoke with a user who was experiencing the problem and conducted some tests. I checked if location access was allowed in the settings. I verified if Safari was accepting with the option to always ask selected. In the settings of my system's website, I checked if location access was allowed with the option to always ask chosen. We changed all prompting options to allow. We opened the following site https://whatpwacando.today/ and found that geolocation was also not possible. Everything indicates that the issue lies with these users' phones; however, other geolocation methods work fine, as other geolocation apps function properly. This leads me to think that it might be a problem with Safari not working properly with the HTML Geolocation API. I'm not sure if there are any more advanced settings that could help or if anyone else has encountered this issue.
