I'm trying to understand the deferredLocations feature. As per apple docs, the following should work, and it does when I run it on the simulator, but once I install the app on my iPhone 6s and disconnect the iPhone and run the app, the locations updates do not get deferred. I'm using XCode 8 and swift 3.
Here is the code:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
locationManager=CLLocationManager()
locationManager!.delegate=self
locationManager!.desiredAccuracy=kCLLocationAccuracyBest
locationManager!.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
locationManager!.distanceFilter=kCLDistanceFilterNone
locationManager!.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates=true
locationManager!.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically=false
locationManager!.startUpdatingLocation()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
if (!self.deferringUpdates)
{
locationManager!.allowDeferredLocationUpdates(untilTraveled: CLLocationDistanceMax, timeout: 60)
self.deferringUpdates=true
}
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didFinishDeferredUpdatesWithError error: Error?) {
i=i+1
label.text="\(i)"
print("didFinishDeferredUpdatesWithError")
locationManager!.disallowDeferredLocationUpdates()
self.deferringUpdates=false
}
I'm getting error code = 11, which is GPS not available or something like that as per apple docs.
