Geolocation is not working on android

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

I test the code on web browser and iOS, it works perfectly. but on android i get error message :
console.log: Error: Only secure origins are allowed (see: https://goo.gl/Y0ZkNV). Is there any solution to this problem?

This is something I believed was fixe in the cordova-plugin-geolocation a few release ago.
Chances are you have an older version that does not include the fixes.

ionic plugin rm cordova-plugin-geolocation

ionic plugin rm cordova-plugin-geolocation@latest --save

I did this:
ionic plugin rm cordova-plugin-geolocation

ionic plugin add cordova-plugin-geolocation@latest --save

but i get same error. here is my code:
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(

  (position) => {
    const geofence = this.geofenceService.create({
      longitude: position.coords.longitude,
      latitude: position.coords.latitude,
    });
           // this.map.setCenter({ lat: position.coords.latitude, lng: position.coords.longitude });


    this.transitionToDetailsPage(geofence);
  },
  (error) => {
    console.log('Error: ' + error.message);

  },
  { timeout: 10000, enableHighAccuracy: true }
);

Hi all, weā€™ve put together this guide for testing Geolocation on Android in the emulator. Iā€™ve run into the same issues others have here, and these tips resolve them: https://blog.ionicframework.com/testing-geolocation-on-android/

I simple remove the security from Chrome with this command.

In MacOs:
open -a Google\ Chrome --args --disable-web-security --user-data-dir

In Linux:
google-chrome --disable-web-security --user-data-dir

This remove security and Cross-Origin too.
