When I try to use map in iOS 8, I get below error.
Trying to start MapKit location updates without prompting for location authorization. Must call -[CLLocationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization] or -[CLLocationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization] first.
For this I tried solution from here, but still no luck.
Below is what I did.
Step 1. Have entry in Info.plist
NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription - This is test text
Step 2. Updated -(CLLocationCoordinate2D) getLocation
-(CLLocationCoordinate2D) getLocation{
CLLocationManager *locationManager = [[[CLLocationManager alloc] init] autorelease];
locationManager.delegate = self;
locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone;
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
// this is change
if(IS_OS_8_OR_LATER) {
[locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
}
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
CLLocation *location = [locationManager location];
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = [location coordinate];
return coordinate;
}
Step 3. Prefix.pch
#define IS_OS_8_OR_LATER ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.0)
Step 4. Delete the app again with below in viewDidLoad.
CLLocationCoordinate2D theCoordinate;
theCoordinate = [self getLocation];
NSLog(@"ffffff===%f===%f", theCoordinate.latitude, theCoordinate.longitude);
Still I get output as
ffffff===0.000===0.000
Note:
I get warning, but that is just for half seconds and disappears and then I get message as
CLLocationCoordinate2D theCoordinate;
theCoordinate = [self getLocation];
NSLog(@"ffffff===%f===%f", theCoordinate.latitude, theCoordinate.longitude);
When I go in setting to check the status for Location, below is what I have.
Any idea why this is happening?
I am testing on iPad 2 iOS 8.0 & simulator iOS 8.0
You need to implement the CLLocationManager Delegate ( -(void) locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations ) to get location updates.
Here's a code snippet for your reference:
-(void) locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations
{
CLLocation *currentLocation = [locations lastObject];
NSLog(@"ffffff===%f===%f", currentLocation.coordinate.latitude, currentLocation.coordinate.longitude);
}
Alternatively, you can implement the Mapkit's following delegate method:
- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView didUpdateUserLocation:(MKUserLocation *)userLocation
{
MKUserLocation *myLocation = userLocation;
NSLog(@"ffffff===%f===%f", myLocation.coordinate.latitude, myLocation.coordinate.longitude);
}
Not sure what was real problem, but putting below code in viewDidLoad
solve problem.
mapView.delegate = self;
locationManager.delegate = self;
self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0
if(IS_OS_8_OR_LATER) {
// Use one or the other, not both. Depending on what you put in info.plist
[self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
}
#endif
[self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
mapView.showsUserLocation = YES;
[mapView setMapType:MKMapTypeStandard];
[mapView setZoomEnabled:YES];
[mapView setScrollEnabled:YES];
Reference
The requestWhenInUseAuthorization
runs asynchronously, so you should not be calling startUpdatingLocation
until you get a change in authorization status in your delegate.
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) {
// 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...
