Worth documenting why this is needed, since it's non-obvious. react-native-nitro-geolocation ships no compiled JS at all — the tarball has 0 .js files and 54 .ts/.tsx, with main: "src/index" and browser: "src/index.web.tsx" — so the TS plugin needs jsx set in order to parse the .tsx entry point. I confirmed it's load-bearing: without it the build fails with TS6142: Module ... was resolved to '.../src/index.tsx', but '--jsx' is not set.

The flag itself is fine. The thing I'd want confirmed before merge is the consequence: the client now resolves raw TSX at runtime for this dependency, where the old library shipped lib/commonjs + lib/module. That's worth a quick sanity check in a real app (web especially), independent of the web-support question on GetCurrentLocation.ts.

Could you add a short comment here noting why jsx is required? Otherwise it looks unrelated to a geolocation migration and someone may remove it later.

Good news — I think we may be able to drop the hand-rolled web branch entirely here. The library ships web support for the Modern API root import: browser builds resolve to src/index.web.tsx, which is backed by navigator.geolocation and doesn't load any Nitro native bindings. Its getCurrentPosition has the same signature and also returns a promise, so await getCurrentPosition(options) should work unchanged on both platforms and the whole isReactNative/isWeb split could go away. Same applies to watchPosition/unwatch in GetCurrentLocationMinimumAccuracy.ts — the web entry exports those with identical signatures (string tokens included).

One thing worth verifying before we rely on it: whether the Mendix web client resolves the package's browser/exports condition. If it does, this simplifies both actions a lot. If it doesn't, then the manual branch is the right call and we should keep it with a short comment saying why, so the reason is obvious next time someone reads it.

normalizeWebPosition is duplicated verbatim in both geolocation actions, and the library already exports an equivalent (normalizePosition in its web entry, which also sets provider).

If we end up using the library's built-in web support, this can be removed outright. If we keep the manual path, could we add a short note that the two copies need to stay in sync? Sharing across two action files isn't really possible in the Mendix model as far as I know, so a comment is probably the most we can do.
