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

Before [locationManager startUpdatingLocation];, add an iOS8 location services request:

if([locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestAlwaysAuthorization)])
    [locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];

Edit your app's Info.plist and add key NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription with the string value that will be displayed to the user (for example, We do our best to preserve your battery life.)

If your app needs location services only while the app is open, replace:

requestAlwaysAuthorization with requestWhenInUseAuthorization and

NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription with NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription.
