([#9251](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/9251) by [@tsapeta](https://github.com/tsapeta)) - Removed the deprecated `enableHighAccuracy` option of `getCurrentPositionAsync`. ([#9251](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/9251) by [@tsapeta](https://github.com/tsapeta)) - Removed `maximumAge` and `timeout` options from `getCurrentPositionAsync` – it's been Android only and the same behavior can be achieved on all platforms on the JavaScript side. ([#9251](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/9251) by [@tsapeta](https://github.com/tsapeta)) - Made type and enum names more consistent and in line with our standards — they all are now prefixed by `Location`.

([#9444](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/9444) by [@tsapeta](https://github.com/tsapeta)) ### 🐛 Bug fixes - Fixed different types being used on Web platform. ([#9251](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/9251) by [@tsapeta](https://github.com/tsapeta)) - `getLastKnownPositionAsync` no longer requests for the current location on iOS and just returns the last known one as it should be.
