Either the file doesn't have GPS data or it's in a format that exiftool doesn't know about.  If you're certain it has data and can make a small sample file available, Phil might take a look at it.  But at the moment, he's on vacation and won't be back until late September so it will be a while.

im not sure that it has GPS info, but it was taken with an Apple, so it should have, right?

It probably depends upon the app that took it and if it's been processed by any other program.  But I would think that if it was taken by a default Apple app, that exiftool would already be able to decode it, since that would be a common sample. 

You can hit the "Notify" button in the upper right corner of this thread if you want to get an email in case there's an official response from Phil when he get's back.

I don't recall seeing any Apple devices that store streaming GPS
