Location Services not working in iOS 8

Question

My app that worked fine on iOS 7 doesn\'t work with the iOS 8 SDK.

CLLocationManager doesn\'t return a location, and I don\'t see my app under

Answer 1

I ended up solving my own problem.

Apparently in iOS 8 SDK, requestAlwaysAuthorization (for background location) or requestWhenInUseAuthorization (location only when foreground) call on CLLocationManager is needed before starting location updates.

There also needs to be NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription or NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription key in Info.plist with a message to be displayed in the prompt. Adding these solved my problem.
