Hi everyone! Shazron has recommended I post the issue I am experiencing here. I am using Cordova 3.4 and calling Geolocation API.
It is never successful the first time around, it always times out throws onError and I have to refresh the whole page for it to work the second time around. I am not calling geolocation on the onDeviceReady as I am calling the API on a separate view (multi page app with JQM) and also Google Maps API. If I call external scripts (google maps) on the first load, Apple App store will be sure to reject my app. Here is my stackoverflow post on it: 

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23292335/why-does-phonegap-geolocation-onsuccess-never-fires-the-first-time-around 

I really hope there is something missing here and I’ve forgot to implement it or something. I'm not the only one with the problem. It's happening on Android environment too. I hope there is a way we can make it more reliable and not rely on a refresh action.
