Add to x/mobile the ability to retrieve current latitude/longitude from e.g. GPS. (Relates to #9330)

The feature request may fit in the responsibilities of the sensor package but there are two nitpicks:

  • Sensor package is event driven, will push lat/lon changes rather than returning the last known location. I am not sure if this is the desired API for location data.
  • Location data retrieval can be configured with various filters on both platforms, e.g. distance filters, precision levels (gps-only or gps- or network-based location). We need a API surface.

Is there any work on this? I have geolocation needs and would prefer to stay in Go. It wouldn't be that hard to create an API for this one feature would it? If there is no work on it, I'll have to just bind my Go, which isn't what I'd like to do.

Same boat here as @Oregon-Tech-Ninja and would love to see GPS in Go :). @Oregon-Tech-Ninja did you find an alternate solution you can share by any change?

This would be amazing

Would have to wait for #50104 to be added I guess, since manually enabling location permissions in the settings would be a bit weird... Has anyone found any solutions/bindings yet?
