React Native navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition how to customize the Alert Text Message

In React Native we have this function to access the Device's Location:

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
      (position) => {
        this.setState({
          latitude: position.coords.latitude,
          longitude: position.coords.longitude,
          error: null,
        });
      },
      (error) => this.setState({ error: error.message }),
      { enableHighAccuracy: true, timeout: 20000, maximumAge: 1000 },
    );

As we see in this sample code, it receives a onSuccess and onFail functions, and also an object as third parameter where you can customize enableHighAccuracy, timeout and maximumAge.

Then when you call this, the first time it shows a Modal, requesting the user's permission to access his location. So my question is:

How can I customize the text displayed in that Modal alert?

enter image description here

Now Apple introduced some guiadance that requires to mention what the permission is being requested for, but I dont see a way to customize tha text message programatically.

I am stuck, and my app is being rejected many times because of this. Please advise.
