How to track set locationManager.delegate the right way? - ios

Question

I tried to use CoreLocation with Swift to track the user's location:
(Below you can find the code of may ViewController.swift file.)
But the code doesn't seems working as I've expected, because I'm still getting the same error every-time I'm launching the application:
I'm sure this is the problem why I'm not able to get a result from the locationManager() function that should print out the current location.
It says "Cannot assign value of type 'ViewController' to type 'CLLocationManagerDelegate?'"
import UIKit
import CoreLocation
class ViewController: UIViewController, WKUIDelegate {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
if CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled() {
print("CLLocationManager is available")
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyThreeKilometers
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
}
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
if let location = locations.first {
print(location.coordinate)
}
}
}
Does anyone now how to fix this problem? - Any help would be very appreciated, thanks a million in advance.

You simply need to declare conformance to CLLocationManagerDelegate. You can either do this directly in the class declaration just as you did with WKUIDelegate or in an extension of ViewController.
class ViewController: UIViewController, WKUIDelegate, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
if CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled() {
print("CLLocationManager is available")
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyThreeKilometers
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
}
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
if let location = locations.first {
print(location.coordinate)
}
}
}
With extension:
class ViewController: UIViewController, WKUIDelegate {
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
if CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled() {
print("CLLocationManager is available")
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyThreeKilometers
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
}
}
extension ViewController: CLLocationManagerDelegate {
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
if let location = locations.first {
print(location.coordinate)
}
}
}
