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

You can't disable the request message, either in the emulator or on the device, but you can customise it by adding a property to your project's .plist.

For iOS 8, if your app requests permission to use location in the background, you want the following key (set the string value to anything you like):

NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription
My app requires constant access to your location, even when the screen is off.

If your app only uses location while in the foreground, then add the following key:

NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
My app requires access to your location when the screen is on and the app is displayed.

For older versions of iOS (<=7) you need to use NSLocationUsageDescription
