core-location

This is the section from the CLLocationManager documentation describing the app behavior with startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges : If you start this service and your application is subsequently terminated, the system automatically relaunches the application into the background if a new event arrives. In such a case, the options dictionary passed to the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method of your application delegate contains the key UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocationKey to indicate that your application was launched because of a location event. Upon relaunch, you must

UPDATE: As of iOS 5 and Xcode 4.1 is is now possible to test location in the simulator and even define routes. See http://developer.apple.com for more details. Legacy Question Is there anyway to test CoreLocation on the iPhone Simulator? All I require is to be able to set the location myself and have CoreLocation return it. Here is my simple hack that forces the CLLocationMager to return the geocoords of Powell's Tech Bookstore only on the simulator: #ifdef TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR @interface CLLocationManager (Simulator) @end @implementation CLLocationManager (Simulator) -(void

I want to get the current location, but instead I get an error. This is a snippet of my view controller. - (void)viewDidLoad { self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init]; [locationManager setDelegate:self]; [locationManager setDesiredAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters]; [locationManager startUpdatingLocation]; } - (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray<CLLocation *> *)locations { // I would get the latest location here // but this method never gets called } - (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didFailWithError:

I'm using CoreLocation framework in my app in Xcode7(pre-released),and I noticed that there is a newly added property called allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates in CLLocationManager class. What's the relationship between this property and the location updates in the Background Modes of the Capabilities tab. What's the default value of it and does it affect apps running in iOS9? Felix This new property is explained in the WWDC session "What's New in Core Location" . The default value is NO if you link against iOS 9. If your app uses location in the background (without showing the blue status bar)

It seems that in iOS 7 an app can not start Location Manager (by calling startUpdatingLocation) from the background task anymore. In iOS 6 I used approach described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6465280 to run background location update every n minutes. The idea was to run background task with a timer and start Location Manager when the timer triggers it. After that turn off Location Manager and start another background task. After updating to iOS 7 this approach does not work anymore. After starting Location Manager an app does not receive any locationManager:didUpdateLocations. Any ideas
