iOS permission Alerts - removing or suppressing

Question

I have a simple app running on ios simulator which will (at some point in the app), prompt the user to authorize the following:

1. Location setting
2. Addre

Answer 1

There's some discussion here on this topic. I'll quote the relevant portion for posterity:

For CoreLocation, you can just call the following private method at some point before your first use:

[CLLocationManager setAuthorizationStatus:YES 
                      forBundleIdentifier:[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleIdentifier]]

Privacy alerts for contacts, photos and the calendar are handled differently. These can be set via TCCAccessSetForBundle from TCC.framework, but this function is not callable from within the same app whose privacy settings you're attempting to modify AFAICT.

Instead, you can just sign your app with these entitlements:

    com.apple.private.tcc.allow.overridable
    
        kTCCServiceAddressBook
        kTCCServiceCalendar
        kTCCServicePhotos
    

To hide your app from the Simulator's Privacy Settings screens, replace com.apple.private.tcc.allow.overridable with com.apple.private.tcc.allow.

You probably don't want to include these entitlements in your AppStore build.

(Make sure to take this stuff out when you submit your app - or only include it in your debug target - because it won't pass app review.)
