[jira] [Commented] (CB-1288) position.timestamp.getTime() fails on iOS, ok on Android

["Shazron Abdullah (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1288?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13443904#comment-13443904 ] 

Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-1288:
--------------------------------------

The watchPosition js is common on iOS and Android:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-js/blob/master/lib/common/plugin/geolocation.js#L169

The only differentiating factor would be the native code, and it is setting the timestamp:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVLocation.m#L337

I'll try to repro this tomorrow.

> Take this piece of code:
> {code:javascript}
>     gpsWatchId = navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(
>                     function( position ) // success
>                     {
>                         positionTimestamp = position.timestamp.getTime();
>                     }
>                     // don't forget the rest of the code
> {code}
> position.timestamp will be a Date object on Android, so even alert( position.timestamp ) works. On iOS 5, it causes the JS engine to fall over with some fatal error, rendering the whole app useless. You have to replace the code with your own "x = new Date; y = x.getTime();" code. If I saw correctly position.timestamp is non-existent on iOS.
