CLLocationManager delegate methods are not getting called(google maps is integrated) - ios

Question

The delegate Methods of CLLocationManager
didChangeAuthorizationStatus
and
didUpdateToLocation
are not getting called.
Location Always Usage Description key is already added in info.plist and I am getting notification also when i launch app for the first time.
I am able to see the google map, but i am not able to see current location, When i change location, its not getting updated. Basicaaly delegate methods are not getting called.
//code
import UIKit
import GoogleMaps
class ViewController: UIViewController,GMSMapViewDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var mapViewTest: GMSMapView!
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
var currentLocation :CLLocation = CLLocation(latitude: 0.0, longitude: 0.0)
var currentLatitude : Double = 0.0
var currentLongitude : Double = 0.0
override func viewDidLoad()
{
super.viewDidLoad()``
locationManager.delegate = self
if (CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled())
{
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
locationManager.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = true
locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
}
extension ViewController : CLLocationManagerDelegate
{
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didChangeAuthorizationStatus status: CLAuthorizationStatus)
{
if status == .authorizedAlways
{
if(CLLocationManager .locationServicesEnabled())
{
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
mapViewTest.isMyLocationEnabled = true
mapViewTest.settings.myLocationButton = true
}
}
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateToLocation newLocation: CLLocation, fromLocation oldLocation: CLLocation)
{
mapViewTest.camera = GMSCameraPosition(target: (newLocation.coordinate), zoom: 15, bearing: 0, viewingAngle: 0)
currentLocation = newLocation
currentLatitude = newLocation.coordinate.latitude
currentLongitude = newLocation.coordinate.longitude
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: NSError)
{
print("Errors: " + error.localizedDescription)
}
}

Answer 1

From your code you are working with Swift 3, and in Swift 3 CLLocationManagerDelegate method's signature is changed like this.
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didChangeAuthorization status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
}
//func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateTo newLocation: CLLocation,
from oldLocation: CLLocation) is deprecated with below one
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: Error) {
}
Check Apple Documentation on CLLocationManagerDelegate for more details.

After checking your code i found some changes you needs to do as follow,
note : I have only added the code having issue here that of location manager
import UIKit
import CoreLocation
class ViewController: UIViewController {
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
var currentLocation :CLLocation = CLLocation(latitude: 0.0, longitude: 0.0)
var currentLatitude : Double = 0.0
var currentLongitude : Double = 0.0
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
locationManager.delegate = self
if (CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled())
{
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
locationManager.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = true
locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
}
extension ViewController : CLLocationManagerDelegate {
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didFinishDeferredUpdatesWithError error: Error?) {
print("Errors: " + (error?.localizedDescription)!)
}
}
Also add below lines in .plist file if not added,
<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) location use</string>
<key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
<string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) always uses location </string>

Answer 3

Add these two properties in your info.plist
NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription

Answer 4

you need to put the mapview delegate to self.
try this:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// User Location Settings
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
// Google Maps Delegate
mapView.delegate = self
}
// View will appear
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
// Google maps settings
mapView.isMyLocationEnabled = true
mapView.settings.myLocationButton = true
// Get location if autorized
if (CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus() == CLAuthorizationStatus.authorizedWhenInUse) {
let (latitude, longitude) = self.getLocation()
mapView.camera = GMSCameraPosition.camera(
withLatitude: latitude,
longitude: longitude,
zoom: 14)
}
}
//Get the user location
func getLocation() -> (latitude: CLLocationDegrees, longitude: CLLocationDegrees) {
let latitude = (locationManager.location?.coordinate.latitude)!
let longitude = (locationManager.location?.coordinate.longitude)!
return (latitude, longitude)
}
