Description

Hi there,

I have an issue with the InAppBrowser plugin used on a windows phone 8 device.

• I have a web page on a website which uses the HTML5 geolocation : Using it on Internet explorer on my Windows Phone 8 device works.

• Then I have a compiled Hybrid application. I enabled the cordova geolocation plugin and when I try geolocation, it works too.

Finally, In my application a load the web page throught the inAppBrowser plugin, and when I try to get my current position, this just doesn't work.

The Error I get is : 'This site does not have permission to use the Geolocation API'

I thought this could be a bug as I don't see anything else that could be responsible of this error.

Thanks in advance,

Cheers
