locationManager not working on iOS 9 - ios

Question

I have a problem with the refresh information on your GPS position.
The function given by me "locationManager" when you click the button does not refresh the information in the "Label".
My code: http://pastebin.com/hWeq6gTS
I am a novice programmer iOS. Please help.

Answer 1

The issue that is not always obvious with the location services is that you have to have one of these two keys in your Info.plist:
NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription
Then, when starting updating of your position, don't forget to request permissions first (again, depending on your requirements (when in use/always):
[self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization]
[self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization]

Answer 2

Add these two properties in info.plist
'NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription' and below property
Create CocoaTouch Class 'LocationManager' inherit from NSObject like below class.
Singleton Location Manager Class .h
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#interface LocationManager : NSObject <CLLocationManagerDelegate>
{
CLLocationManager *locationManager;
}
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *longitude;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *latitude;
#property (strong, nonatomic) CLLocation *currentLocation;
+ (instancetype)sharedInstance;
#end
Implementation here .m
#import "LocationManager.h"
#implementation LocationManager
- (id) init
{
self = [super init];
if (self != nil)
{
[self locationManager];
}
return self;
}
+ (instancetype)sharedInstance
{
static LocationManager *sharedInstance = nil;
static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
sharedInstance = [[LocationManager alloc] init];
// Do any other initialisation stuff here
});
return sharedInstance;
}
- (void) locationManager
{
if ([CLLocationManager locationServicesEnabled])
{
locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
locationManager.delegate = self;
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone;
if ([locationManager respondsToSelector:#selector(requestWhenInUseAuthorization)])
{
[locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
}
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}
else{
UIAlertView *servicesDisabledAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Location Services Disabled" message:#"You currently have all location services for this device disabled. If you proceed, you will be showing past informations. To enable, Settings->Location->location services->on" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"Ok" otherButtonTitles:#"Continue",nil];
[servicesDisabledAlert show];
[servicesDisabledAlert setDelegate:self];
}
}
- (void)requestWhenInUseAuthorization
{
CLAuthorizationStatus status = [CLLocationManager authorizationStatus];
// If the status is denied or only granted for when in use, display an alert
if (status == kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorizedWhenInUse || status == kCLAuthorizationStatusDenied) {
NSString *title;
title = (status == kCLAuthorizationStatusDenied) ? #"Location services are off" : #"Background location is not enabled";
NSString *message = #"To use background location you must turn on 'Always' in the Location Services Settings";
UIAlertView *alertViews = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:title
message:message
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel"
otherButtonTitles:#"Settings", nil];
[alertViews show];
}
// The user has not enabled any location services. Request background authorization.
else if (status == kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined) {
[locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
}
}
#pragma mark - CLLocationManagerDelegate
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
NSLog(#"didFailWithError: %#", error);
UIAlertView *errorAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Error" message:#"Failed to Get Your Location" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
// [errorAlert show];
}
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didChangeAuthorizationStatus:(CLAuthorizationStatus)status
{
switch (status) {
case kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined:
case kCLAuthorizationStatusRestricted:
case kCLAuthorizationStatusDenied:
{
// do some error handling
}
break;
default:{
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}
break;
}
}
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation {
CLLocation *location;
location = [manager location];
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = [location coordinate];
_currentLocation = [[CLLocation alloc] init];
_currentLocation = newLocation;
_longitude = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f",coordinate.longitude];
_latitude = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f",coordinate.latitude];
// globalObjects.longitude = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f",coordinate.longitude];
// globalObjects.latitude = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f",coordinate.latitude];
}
#end
import
#import "LocationManager.h"
in your AppDelegate.h
and call that in your AppDelegate.m's like this
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
[LocationManager sharedInstance];
return true;
}
Then just get
[LocationManager sharedInstance].longitude or latitude for updated lat long.

Answer 3

Instead of using
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation
fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation{
// Location update code
}
use this function to get updated location
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations{
// Assigning the last object as the current location of the device
CLLocation *currentLocation = [locations lastObject];
}

Answer 4

Sometimes we do face problem when we do not check the authorisation status. You can check this code
// Custom initialization code
CLLocationManager *manager = [[CLLocationManager alloc]init];
manager.delegate = self;
manager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
// Setting distance fiter to 10 to get notified only after location change about 10 meter
manager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone;
// Requesting for authorization
if ([manager respondsToSelector:#selector(requestWhenInUseAuthorization)]){
[manager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
}
// Immediately starts updating the location
[manager startUpdatingLocation];
[manager startUpdatingHeading];
if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED >= 80000
// user activated automatic attraction info mode
CLAuthorizationStatus status = [CLLocationManager authorizationStatus];
if (status == kCLAuthorizationStatusDenied ||
status == kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorizedWhenInUse ||
status == kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined) {
// present an alert indicating location authorization required
// and offer to take the user to Settings for the app via
// UIApplication -openUrl: and UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString
[manager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
}
[manager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
else
[manager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
endif
