Answer 1

In ios 8 Authorization is required as below

    NSString * osVersion = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];
    if ([osVersion floatValue]>= 8.0 ) {
    [_CLLocationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization]; //Requests permission to use location services whenever the app is running. 
// [_CLLocationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization]; //Requests permission to use location services while the app is in the foreground. 
    }
    [_CLLocationManager startUpdatingLocation];

And you need to add two keys in the plist

1.NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription

2.NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription

Answer 2

In iOS 8 Mapview Current Location fire using

You can set in your .plist file

<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>Your app name Or Other string</string>
<key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
<string>Your app name Or Other string</string>

And your code side you just implement this

CLLocationManager * locationmanager = [CLLocationManager new];

locationmanager.delegate = self;
locationmanager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone;
locationmanager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
[locationmanager startUpdatingLocation];    
[locationmanager requestAlwaysAuthorization];

-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations {

location = [locations objectAtIndex:0];
[locationmanager stopUpdatingLocation];

}

I am using this my app get perfect current location.

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.
