On tapping the button to update location, it opens the popup asking to enable location (and most times it doesn't even ask), and than I get this error in the command line:

ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: Cannot enable the location service
JS: Error: Cannot enable the location service

Is there any code involved?

import * as geolocation from "nativescript-geolocation";
import { Accuracy } from "ui/enums";

private getDeviceLocation(): Promise {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
geolocation.enableLocationRequest().then(() => {
geolocation.getCurrentLocation({ desiredAccuracy: Accuracy.high, maximumAge: 5000, timeout: 10000 }).then(location => {
resolve(location);
}).catch(error => {
reject(error);
});
});
});
}

public updateLocation() {
    this.getDeviceLocation().then(result => {
        this.latitude = result.latitude;
        this.longitude = result.longitude;
    }, error => {
        console.error(error);
    });
}
