[Issue]: Mobile App pages that access Location Services on Android devices are VERY VERY slow

[stanalyst]

Describe the Issue in Detail

We just migrated our mobile app to Maui - and have noticed that any pages which access location services on the devices take MUCH MUCH longer to load now for Android than they used to. iOs devices seem unchanged.

We have the Live Experience Occurrences block on the home page of our app. For an Android device that has location services on - and set to allow while using - the home page takes between 3-6 seconds to load. If the same device is set to never share - then page loads almost instantly. Also - if the device is set to allow - but NOT precise location - then it loads faster too.

On iOs - the load time seems unaffected by the location settings.

We also use the Rock:GeoBoundaryView tag in a content block on another page - and that block also experiences long load times on Androids with location sharing-precise allowed.

Can reproduce in

• Orange App
• Blue App

Steps to Reproduce

• put a block that uses location services on a mobile app page
• access that page from an Android device that has location services NOT shared - and note load time
• now access same page from device with location services shared (and set to precise) - and note load time

Expected Behavior

It should not take 3-6 seconds for loading just because location is used.

Actual Behavior

using location slows done loading terribly

Hey @stanalyst, are you still seeing this delay on Android with precise location enabled?

[stanalyst]

We are still seeing slower load times on android when a block uses location and the device is sharing location with the app. If that same device stops sharing location - then that block loads much faster.
