cllocationmanager

An iOS application uses the geofencing for notifying the user about predefined nearby locations. The application is allowed to miss some location (the user is not getting a notification about a nearby location), but it is desirable to keep the missing rate low. One way to implement this would be to start monitoring for significant change locations with startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges and each time the "location change" event is fired, look for locations within, let say, 500m radius of the reported location. What worries me is the requirement to perform the query for the nearby

Is there a way to manually tell the device to dispatch a significant location change notification that will wake up any applications registered for this notification? This is for testing only, and I realize this private API call would get rejected upon submission to the app store. So two answers: A) Hop on a train :-) B) Use the simulator. In iOS 5.x simulator, there is a debug menu that has a location submenu. Choose freeway drive. This will start the simulator on an imaginary journey down the scenic 280 in Northern California. It gives you everything but the view: your app will get

I have a project made using Xcode 5. I have a ViewController where i take the phone location using a CLLocationManager. I have implemented both: -(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations -(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didFailWithError:(NSError *)error which worked great. Now i opened the project with Xcode 6 GM, and neither of these 2 methods where called (not on simulator, or device). Any ideas? Thanks Bhumit Mehta Please check the thread here You have to take care of two things 1. requestAlwaysAuthorization - for

Testing Device: iPhone 5 (iOS 7) I have an app that uses RegionMonitoring and updateLocation . If a region is entered, didEnterRegion is called as expected. Then I call startUpdatingLocation . But the method didUpdateToLocation is only called 10-20 times while it should update the location until the timer fires. The relevant code: CLLocationManager *_locationManager; NSTimer *_timer; -(void)initLocationManager { _locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init]; _locationManager.delegate = self; [_locationManager setActivityType:CLActivityTypeOther]; [_locationManager setDesiredAccuracy

In iOS 6, the purpose property of CLLocationManager, to describe the reason for using location services ( @property(copy, nonatomic) NSString *purpose ) has been deprecated. What replacement, if any, is proposed by Apple? The replacement for the purpose property in iOS 6 is a new Info.plist key named NSLocationUsageDescription (aka "Privacy - Location Usage Description"). The key is documented in the Information Property List Key Reference but unfortunately it's not mentioned with the deprecation note of the purpose property. However, the CLLocationManager.h does have this comment: *

Code below should get current location. But above error is generated. Function didUpdateLocations never gets called. Running this on a device (iPhone 5s)iOS 9.1. Info.plist has Required device capabilities and Privacy - Location usage description configured as shown in the attached image. Please help! let locationManager = CLLocationManager() override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() locationManager.delegate = self locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization() locationManager.requestLocation() } func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: NSError) print
