Swift Not Reaching LocationManager Function - ios

Question

I am trying to get my location in order to check how far I am from a certain longitude and latitude.
For some reason the program never reaches the LocationManager Function where I want to grab my coordinates.
I have set up the correct properties in info.plist and the app does ask for permission.
I added a function to check for errors and got:
didFailWithError Error Domain=kCLErrorDomain Code=0 "(null)"
import UIKit
import CoreLocation
import MapKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
var locationManager:CLLocationManager = CLLocationManager()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
print("location on")
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
print("REACHED FUNCTION")
}
}

If you are using iOS 8.0 and later you need to ask for permission before starting to update location. You can use following code for that
if #available(iOS 8.0, *) {
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
}
Above code will go in viewDidLoad. And implement following delegate method
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didChangeAuthorizationStatus status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
switch status {
case .AuthorizedWhenInUse:
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
break
case .AuthorizedAlways:
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
break
default:
break
}
}
