CLLocationManager startUpdatingLocation not calling locationManager:didUpdateLocations: or locationManager:didFailWithError:

Question

I\'m trying to use the CLLocationManager framework in my iOS project to access the user\'s location but when I call

[locationManager startUpdat         


        

Answer 1

Location Services work a bit differently starting in iOS 8.

Mainly, you need to add a key NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription to your Info.plist file, and add a description why your app need Location, such as "Location needed to ...".

Note that you might also have to check for iOS version. Only iOS 8 and up have the Location Manager listen to the requestWhenInUseAuthorization call.

Good luck!
