@kueda this issue is in getCurrentPosition in src/sharedHelpers/fetchUserLocation.ts as it is using geolocation and giving error {"ACTIVITY_NULL": 4, "PERMISSION_DENIED": 1, "POSITION_UNAVAILABLE": 2, "TIMEOUT": 3, "code": 3, "message": "Location request timed out"}
this issue also raised by other users michalchudziak/react-native-geolocation#272
we need to set enableHighAccuracy : false to make it work
i have tested it and gives accurate result also i installed latest library version to test but still this change is needed.
let me know if i can proceed to raise a pr

Looks like michalchudziak/react-native-geolocation#317 supposedly fixed it so maybe this is just a matter of updating a dependency. @israr002, sure, go ahead and work on this if you like, I'll assign you. Please try to update the library first and if that doesn't work, go ahead and try that workaround with enableHighAccuracy (high accuracy isn't really required on Explore anyway).

@keuda i checked in the new version the issue is same.
Also with enableHighAccuracy: false i tested by toggling simultaneously between worldwide and nearby it was failing sometimes so i have to remove the maximumAge: 0 after that it was working fine and giving accurate result

Same issue with the latest version. With enableHighAccuracy:true it gives always timeout.
