Location Services not working in iOS 8

Question

My app that worked fine on iOS 7 doesn\'t work with the iOS 8 SDK.

CLLocationManager doesn\'t return a location, and I don\'t see my app under

Answer 1

To ensure that this is backwards compatible with iOS 7, you should check whether the user is running iOS 8 or iOS 7. For example:

#define IS_OS_8_OR_LATER ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.0)

//In ViewDidLoad
if(IS_OS_8_OR_LATER) {
   [self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
}

[self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
