I am trying to get the user's current location using the Core Location Framework in Xcode 6.3.1, I did following things:
- Added Core Location Framework under Target-> General-> Linked Frameworks & Libraries
My ViewController.h file is as shown below,
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h>
@interface ViewController : UIViewController<CLLocationManagerDelegate>
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lblLatitude;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lblLongitude;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lblAddress;
@property (strong, nonatomic) CLLocationManager *locationManager;
@end
My ViewController.m file is as shown below,
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
self.locationManager.delegate = self;
if(IS_OS_8_OR_LATER){
NSUInteger code = [CLLocationManager authorizationStatus];
if (code == kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined && ([self.locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestAlwaysAuthorization)] || [self.locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestWhenInUseAuthorization)])) {
if([[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription"]){
[self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
} else if([[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription"]) {
[self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
} else {
NSLog(@"Info.plist does not contain NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription or NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription");
}
}
}
[self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}
#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 didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
NSLog(@"didUpdateToLocation: %@", newLocation);
CLLocation *currentLocation = newLocation;
if (currentLocation != nil) {
lblLatitude.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.8f", currentLocation.coordinate.longitude];
lblLongitude.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.8f", currentLocation.coordinate.latitude];
}
}
@end
I had also added the following keys in my info.plist file
- NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
- NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription
Checked everything given here, here, here, here, and a lot more list
So, is anyone having a solution for this issue, kindly help. Have lost my mind searching for this for the whole day.
Yeah! Got the solution, Here is my whole code & things added to make it working. Special thanks to @MBarton for his great help. Also Thanks to @ Vinh Nguyen for investing his precious time in solving my issue.
Added Core Location Framework under Target-> General-> Linked Frameworks & Libraries
Added in .plist file
NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription
See Screenshot:
In my ViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <MapKit/MapKit.h>
#import <MapKit/MKAnnotation.h>
// #define IS_OS_8_OR_LATER ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.0)
@interface ViewController : UIViewController <MKMapViewDelegate, CLLocationManagerDelegate>
{
__weak IBOutlet UINavigationItem *navigationItem;
}
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet MKMapView *mapView;
@property(nonatomic, retain) CLLocationManager *locationManager;
@end
Then in ViewController.m
#import "ViewController.h"
@interface ViewController ()
@end
@implementation ViewController
@synthesize mapView;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
[self setUpMap];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
-(void)setUpMap
{
mapView.delegate = self;
self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
self.locationManager.delegate = self;
#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0
// if(IS_OS_8_OR_LATER) {
if ([self.locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestAlwaysAuthorization)]) {
// Use one or the other, not both. Depending on what you put in info.plist
[self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
}
#endif
[self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
mapView.showsUserLocation = YES;
[mapView setMapType:MKMapTypeStandard];
[mapView setZoomEnabled:YES];
[mapView setScrollEnabled:YES];
}
-(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewDidAppear:YES];
self.locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone;
self.locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
[self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
NSLog(@"%@", [self deviceLocation]);
//View Area
MKCoordinateRegion region = { { 0.0, 0.0 }, { 0.0, 0.0 } };
region.center.latitude = self.locationManager.location.coordinate.latitude;
region.center.longitude = self.locationManager.location.coordinate.longitude;
region.span.longitudeDelta = 0.005f;
region.span.longitudeDelta = 0.005f;
[mapView setRegion:region animated:YES];
}
- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView didUpdateUserLocation:(MKUserLocation *)userLocation
{
MKCoordinateRegion region = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(userLocation.coordinate, 800, 800);
[self.mapView setRegion:[self.mapView regionThatFits:region] animated:YES];
}
- (NSString *)deviceLocation {
return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"latitude: %f longitude: %f", self.locationManager.location.coordinate.latitude, self.locationManager.location.coordinate.longitude];
}
Ufff...! Got the solution after fighting with many codes since last 5 days...
