cordova-geolocation not working when using wkwebview on ios11

I've created two empty cordova projects with latest cordova, cordova-ios and cordova-plugin-geolocation:

• 1) one uses the default UIWebView
• 2) other uses WKWebView

Those are simple starter projects that simply try to get user GPS location.

When I open project (1) everything is fine, I get the pop-up asking me to allow location access with the message I specify, as expected.
When I open project (2) I don't get the pop-up and cannot access location information.

Tested on latest OSX and latest iOS on physical iPhone 6S and iPhone X simulator

-----------

To recreate exactly the same conditions:

• create cordova project
• install plugins
• everything is default, except index.js that looks like this:

var app = {
    initialize: function () {
        document.addEventListener('deviceready', this.onDeviceReady.bind(this), false);
    },
    onDeviceReady: function () {
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
            function (position) { console.info(position); },
            function (error) { console.error(error); },
            { timeout: 30000 }
        );
    }
};

app.initialize();
