Research direction
Investigate if the Flutter WebView plugin enables geolocation by default. Check the Android native implementation in the plugin's Java files (likely in `android/src/main/java/.../FlutterWebView.java`). Ensure that `WebChromeClient` is properly set to handle geolocation permissions. The issue may require overriding `onGeolocationPermissionsShowPrompt` to grant permission. Also confirm that the user's manifest has `ACCESS FINE LOCATION` and that runtime permissions are handled. Consider testing with a simple HTML page that requests geolocation. The issue is old and may be resolved in newer versions; check recent comments or linked PRs.
