Geolocation API isn’t available in Excel for Web and Excel for Mac

Geolocation API navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition doesn't work in Excel for Mac and in browsers. It works in Excel for Windows.

 

Your Environment:
Platform [PC desktop, Mac, iOS, Office on the web]: Mac, Office on the web
Host [Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc.]: Excel
Browser (if using Office on the web): Chrome, Safari

 

Expected behavior:
A dialog should appear asking for permission to the user's location. If the user allows it, the add-in would be able to retrieve the user's location. This is how it currently works in Excel for Windows.

 

Current behavior:
It just returns an error, code 1, the message: User denied Geolocation
