Retrieving the current location of the user/ retrieving the values of longitude and latitude watchkit/ios swift - ios

Question

I want to obtain the current location (longitude and latitude) of the user, but I just get 0 for both of the variables. I do not know where the problem lies in. I am following this tutorial and have updated the infop.list of the app folder and the watch extension folder (NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription and NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription), inserted the needed Watchconnector to both of the folders with cocoapods, and I also have added the Corelocation framework via link binary with libraries.
I have little knowledge about swift and watch os, I hope anyone can help.
Here is the project file: https://ufile.io/l5elkpsw
Thank you very much.
And here are my Appdelegate and Interfacecontroller file:

import CoreLocation
import MapKit
#UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
let locationManager:CLLocationManager = CLLocationManager()
var currentLocation = CLLocation()
var window: UIWindow?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
WatchConnector.shared.activateSession()
self.locationManager.delegate = self
self.locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
self.locationManager.requestLocation()
self.locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
self.locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
return true
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
if locations.count == 0
{
return
}
self.currentLocation = locations.first!
let message = ["lat":self.currentLocation.coordinate.latitude,"long":self.currentLocation.coordinate.longitude]
WatchConnector.shared.sendMessage(message, withIdentifier: "sendCurrentLocation") { (error) in
print("error in send message to watch\(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: Error) {
print("Fail to load location")
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
func applicationWillResignActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Sent when the application is about to move from active to inactive state. This can occur for certain types of temporary interruptions (such as an incoming phone call or SMS message) or when the user quits the application and it begins the transition to the background state.
// Use this method to pause ongoing tasks, disable timers, and invalidate graphics rendering callbacks. Games should use this method to pause the game.
}
func applicationDidEnterBackground(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Use this method to release shared resources, save user data, invalidate timers, and store enough application state information to restore your application to its current state in case it is terminated later.
// If your application supports background execution, this method is called instead of applicationWillTerminate: when the user quits.
}
func applicationWillEnterForeground(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Called as part of the transition from the background to the active state; here you can undo many of the changes made on entering the background.
}
func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Restart any tasks that were paused (or not yet started) while the application was inactive. If the application was previously in the background, optionally refresh the user interface.
}
func applicationWillTerminate(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Called when the application is about to terminate. Save data if appropriate. See also applicationDidEnterBackground:.

Are you testing on a simulator? If so, you might need to set the location to something in the Debug/Location menu:
