Call the geolocation initialisation in onDeviceReady Method and load this in body tag

function onDeviceReady(){
    return navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(initialize);
}

I think i found the solution, at least did it work for me: some files of the geolocation plugin were missing! You can find my solution here.

I was having the same problem, but this fixed it: Location permission alert on iPhone with PhoneGap

you have to rely on OnDeviceReady(), and it'll only call once.

Unfortunately, you can't disable the second alert, because it is coming from WebKit and not iOS. However, I suggest you write a bug on the WebKit Bugzilla and ask them to disable the second alert when PhoneGap is being used in an app if you believe two confirmation messages will be confusing to the user.
