how to get user latitude and longitude - ios

Question

I am trying to get a user's latitude and longitude values, but the CLLocationManagerDelegate's methods are not getting called. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me solve this.
import UIKit
import CoreLocation
class ViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
var locationmanager = CLLocationManager()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
locationmanager.delegate = self;
locationmanager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
locationmanager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
locationmanager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
//MARK: - location delegate methods
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
let userLocation :CLLocation = locations[0] as CLLocation
print("user latitude = \(userLocation.coordinate.latitude)")
print("user longitude = \(userLocation.coordinate.longitude)")
}
}

Answer 1

You can typically okay. To access user's current location you need physical device.
Still, there are second way to simulate location on simulator using Simulate Location option available above console in toolbar. This option available when your application is running.
Click on it to see list of location and select location to get device location on simulator. It's will be not current location but Simulate Location will set simulator location to your selected location. See following image:
You can also add your custom GPX file to load your current location. You can also add your Customer Location from debug menu of simulator. See following image:
I hope this will help you.

Answer 2

import following framework
Import CoreLocation
if you want Display map
Import MapKit
You can determine user’s current location by declaring
CLLocationManager instance:
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
In viewDidLoad() you have to instantiate the CLLocationManager class,
like so:
// Ask for Authorisation from the User.
self.locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
// For use in foreground
self.locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
if CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled() {
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
Then in CLLocationManagerDelegate method you can get user's current
location coordinates:
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
guard let locValue: CLLocationCoordinate2D = manager.location?.coordinate else { return }
print("locations = \(locValue.latitude) \(locValue.longitude)")
}
In the info.plist you will have to add
Make sure you set following privacy permission.
Also, make sure simulator’s location service is ON.
