SIGABRT crash on iOS app - ios

Question

I am trying to test an iOS app on device.
I have included as much of the crash log as Stack Overflow will let me.
This error only occurs when the location permission modal pops up. Before I can even select to allow or deny location-based services, the entire app crashes.
This is built in PhoneGap so the stacktrace doesn't really help me, however I believe I've narrowed it down to the following line:
navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(updatePosition, fail, {maximumAge: 1500000, enableHighAccuracy: false, timeout: 15000});
Which is using the following library:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-geolocation
Disabling it causes the prompt for geolocation to never come up (predictably) and the app to never crash. Putting it in try/catch blocks does not have the same effect - it still crashes with try/catch blocks.
I am relatively new to iOS testing - what could this be? Previously I never had this problem - it just started recently.
Here's the error report:

Answer 1

Not really a true solution to the problem, but I fixed this by upgrading my PhoneGap version as well as all of the libraries involved.
