[Problem/Bug]: Geolocation regression in WebView2 Canary

What happened?

In WebView2 Canary the geolocation.watchPosition() is no longer firing location updates. The success callback function is not being called.

Note: It is working fine in Edge Canary.

Browsing to the following webpage demonstrates the issue.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Geolocation test</title>
    <script>
    function getLocation() {
        if (navigator.geolocation) {
            console.log("Geolocation is supported.");
            navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(showPosition);
        } else {
            console.log("Geolocation is not supported.");
        }
    }

    function showPosition(position) {
        console.log("Geolocation position received:", position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude);
        document.getElementById("latitude").innerText = position.coords.latitude;
        document.getElementById("longitude").innerText = position.coords.latitude;
    }
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <button type="button" onclick="getLocation()">Watch geolocation</button>
    <p>Latitude: <text id="latitude"></text></p>
    <p>Longitude: <text id="longitude"></text></p>
</body>
</html>
