Hello,
I just want to get the current address of the user where the app is viewed on mobile. I did it successfully with navigator. geolocation object running on the browser. But after compiling to apk and installed, the result was undefined. Very frustrating.
I read about cordova.js and i got this below but its complaining of some dependencies
var channel = require(‘cordova/channel’);
var platform = require(‘cordova/platform’);
which i dont have. Please help me out. My task is very simple, just get the address. pls

Because normally if you add a plugin to your project, you don’t have to copy js-files manually. You have to open a cli, cd to your project folder an run this command:
