        seenError = false

Answer 1

As of iOS 8 requestAlwaysAuthorization is ignored if you do not provide a string for NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription in your Info.plist.

Answer 2

1) CLLocation location documentation - The value of this property is nil if no location data has ever been retrieved.

2) You've set the delegate for CLLocationManager. Why not implement locationManager:didUpdateLocations: and print the latest retrieved location from inside?

3) Are you using a simulator or a real device? Bear in mind that if you are using a simulator you may need to enable simulate location:

You can also find a Custom Location option in: - Simulator -> Debug -> Location -> Custom Location...
