Location permission alert on iPhone with Cordova

Question

I\'m working on a cordova app on which I have to locate the user latitude and longitude. Using the geolocation plugin, it works fine on android dev

Answer 1

Same as the "edit" in the original question, I had to remove the old version of the geolocation plugin and add the new one. Then I had to remove/add the Cordova iOS platform. Only then could I add NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription to the .plist file as DaveAlden mentions in his answer with success.

First, remove/add the geolocation plugin:

cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.geolocation
cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.geolocation

Second, remove/add the iOS platform:

cordova platform rm ios
cordova platform add ios

Last, add NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription to the .plist. Open /platforms/ios/{project}/{project}-Info.plist and add the following:

NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
[App Name] would like to access your location when running and displayed.

See this iOS Developer Library link for detailed information regarding NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription versus NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription versus NSLocationUsageDescription.
