Here is my very simple code that works:

first add Core Location framework in General/Linked Frameworks and Libraries

then add following into Info.plist:

NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
blablabla
NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription
blablabla

this is my ViewController.swift file:

import UIKit
import CoreLocation

class ViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate {

    var locationManager:CLLocationManager!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        locationManager = CLLocationManager()
        locationManager.delegate = self
        locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
        locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
        locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
    }


    func locationManager(manager:CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
        print("locations = \(locations)")
    }

}
