Geolocation not returning cached value on native app

[gggiiia]

Bug Report

Capacitor Version

2.3.0

Platform(s)

android

Current Behavior

calling Geolocation.getCurrentPosition() uses the hardware gps to get the position even if inside the cache time frame

Expected Behavior

return cached value to the promise if inside the defined cache time, right now the function is really slow since it always fetch the position from scrach

Code Reproduction

async () => {
      //using ms library to compose timestamps
      let options = { maximumAge: ms('5m'), timeout: ms('45s'), enableHighAccuracy: true };
      let pos = await Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(options);
      let pos2 = await Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(options);
}

plus actually the promise is slow in general, no matter if highAccuracy is used or not, it just stay there for several seconds, at least the first time after the user accepts the persimmions, fun fact, if i call the function again it usually returns a value immediatly... cache is you? but only if you do the second request 1 second or so away from the first, otherwise it's just there loading for several seconds, not really know what is wrong with this plugin,is buggy, on some devices it just don't work, is slow, cache do not work, using navigator.geolocation for now, at least it works "everywhere" and is fast.
