Question

I would like to get the blue bar when tracking in the background, but not when not.

My app uses location services all the time when active, so in iOS8 I use the

Answer 1

To show blue notification you need to add Privacy - Location When In Use Usage Description in Plist file (this is important, with Always Location the blue bar didn´t appear ever)

 self.locationManager.delegate = self;
 self.locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
 self.locationManager.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically = true/false
 self.locationManager.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = true

then star the location: locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()

Also override methods:

 func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations
  locations: [CLLocation]) {
       print(manager.location?.coordinate.latitude ?? "No data")
 }


 func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didChangeAuthorization status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
     if status == .authorizedWhenInUse {
         if CLLocationManager.isMonitoringAvailable(for: CLBeaconRegion.self) {
             if CLLocationManager.isRangingAvailable() {
                 // do stuff
                 print(manager.location?.coordinate.latitude ?? "No data")
                 locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
             }
         }
     }
 }

Remember the import!!:

 import CoreLocation

And also remember the Delegate (CLLocationManagerDelegate):

 class ViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate{
