I want to develop an Chrome Extension which would be compatible with Manifest Version 3, but I run into problem with getting current user's geolocation coordinates, which works with Manifest Version 2, but for Manifest Version 3 it throws that navigator.geolocation is undefined.

Here are my manifest.json and background.js files:

manifest.json:

    "name": "Chrome Extension MV3",
    "description": "Learning all about Chrome Extensions Manifest Version 3!",
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "manifest_version": 2,
    "background": {
        "service_worker": "background.js"
    },
    "permissions": ["geolocation"]
}

background.js:

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition((position) => {
    const { latitude, longitude } = position.coords;
    console.log(latitude, longitude);
});

Exact same thing is happening to me.

Works fine in chrome f12 console just not in extension i get the exact same error.

var getlocale = function() {
  var geoSuccess = function(position) {
    latitude = position.coords.latitude;
    longitude = position.coords.longitude;
    console.log(latitude);
    console.log(longitude);
  };
  navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(geoSuccess);
};
