Official chrome's guide on how to fetch user's geolocation from background service worker using offscreen document stopped working

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/how-to/web-platform/geolocation

It returns GeolocationPositionError with code:2 (POSITION_UNAVAILABLE)

Any solution for this?

Hey Stefan! 

I am not able to replicate what you are seeing. Looking at the code, this happens when you don't have a valid geolocation provider for your device.

Hi Patrick, I just realized the reason is that extension was deployed through GAC and some admins have turned off geolocation permission from there.
Case closed :)
