CLLLocationManager inside NSObject - ios

Question

I am trying to create a NSObject that will get the location and the address, I will also be running some other code. I want to just throw it into my different apps. I am having issues with it updating the location. I have the protocol and delegate working, but I will post all my code to try to make it clear.
In my getLocation.h
#protocol getLocationDelegate
- (void)getLocation:(NSString *)address getLongitude:(CGFloat)longitude getLatitude:(CGFloat)latitude;
#end
#interface getLocation : NSObject <CLLocationManagerDelegate> {
CGFloat latitude;
CGFloat longitude;
NSString *address;
}
#property (nonatomic, strong) id<getLocationDelegate> delegate;
#property (nonatomic, retain) CLLocationManager *locationManager;
- (void)getLocationInfo;
In my getLocation.m
- (id)init
{
if (self = [super init]) {
self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
self.locationManager.delegate = self;
self.locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone; // whenever we move
self.locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
}
return self;
}
- (void)getLocationInfo {
[self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
// This is being called but not starting the locationManager
}
After I get the address and the location I call the protocol like this, in my getLocation.h
[self.delegate getLocation:address getLongitude:longitude getLatitude:latitude];
In my .m file that I want to get the location this is the code
getLocation *location = [[getLocation alloc] init];
[location setDelegate:self];
[location getLocationInfo];
Then I have my method when the delegate gets called
-(void)getLocation:(NSString *)address getLongitude:(CGFloat)longitude getLatitude:(CGFloat)latitude {
// Do code after location and address has been returned
}
Now my protocol and delegate are working what my problem is I can't get the locationManager to start updating. Not sure whats going on.

I figured it out, ARC was releasing getLocation *location = [[getLocation alloc] init]; before CoreLocation was starting. So I just needed to declare it in my .h and have it be strong.
