So a few things…

  1. Why can’t guess what the issue is. Could you recreate it in a sample project and push that to github?
    Or at least share some code.
  2. Android 4.4 is not supported. This is not really relevant to your current issue, but something to keep in mind.

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Geolocation } from '@ionic-native/geolocation/ngx';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-test-loc',
  templateUrl: './test-loc.page.html',
  styleUrls: ['./test-loc.page.scss'],
})
export class TestLocPage implements OnInit {
  constructor(private geolocation: Geolocation) {}

  ngOnInit() {
    this.geogeo();
  }

  lat: any;
  lng: any;

  geogeo() {
    this.geolocation
      .getCurrentPosition()
      .then((resp) => {
        console.log(resp.coords.latitude);
        console.log(resp.coords.longitude);
        this.lat = resp.coords.latitude;
        this.lng = resp.coords.longitude;
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        console.log('error');
      });
  }
}

Try something like this…

  ngOnInit() {
   return this.geogeo();
  }

 geogeo() {
    return this.geolocation
      .getCurrentPosition()
....

You basically are not unwrapping the promise correctly which could lead to various issues.
