Answer 1

In iOS8, you need to request user's authorization before getting their location.

There are two kinds of request:

-[CLLocationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization] lets you get users' location only when the app is awaken.

-[CLLocationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization] lets you get users' location even when it's in the background.

You can choose between them accordingly.

For example, put this before you start updating location:

// ask for authorization
CLLocationManager * locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
// check before requesting, otherwise it might crash in older version
if ([locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestWhenInUseAuthorization)]) { 

     [locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];

}

Furthermore, don't forget to add two keys

NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription

and

NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription

into your info.plist.

Leave the values empty to use the default messages or you can customize your own by inputting the values.
