This change might cause issues if you have an Android application that perhaps 
you want to use GPS on the phone but also want to allow to run on Chromebooks?  
I got an email recently from Google about the android.hardware.location.gps 
permission:


“In preparation for the release of Chromebooks support for the Google Play 
Store and Android apps, we've been proactively testing the most key and popular 
applications in Google Play, including *** for compatibility.
 
We wanted to let you know, currently your app isn't compatible on Chrome OS 
devices due to manifest entry android.hardware.location.gps. If you want to 
make it compatible, Please read our guide on App Manifest Compatibility for 
more details on how to ensure your app is compatible.”


I don’t have a Chromebook to try out what happens with this plugin there…  I 
think for the Chromebook case you would need required=false and the geolocation 
would need to fail gracefully or the application code would need to check the 
useragent and not call the plugin?

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.gps" 
android:required="false" />

Has anyone tried a Cordova application on a Chromebook?
