CLLocationManager don't stop

Question

Dear fellow developers,

I am trying hard to find a solution for my problem regarfing CLLocationManager.

I use a CLLocationManager instance in my Application.

Answer 1

Your location is disabled. The location service icon "meaning" has changed on iOS 5. Take a look at this question: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/27463/why-is-the-location-services-icon-always-present

I Quote the answer:

It's a new feature in ios 5 called "region Monitoring"

The reason it's active even if the app is closed is that this feature runs in iOS 5 core and notifies all apps that are registered when they have entered or left a specific geo-fence.

Reminders does that when you use a location based reminder.

Although the location icon appears at all time. This actually has very minimal impact on the battery due to apple really optimizing this feature by using cell and wifi mostly.

Your app is working ok. The system behaviour is the one who changed.

Answer 2

For instance if you started monitoring a significant location change, then you should unsubscribe from it with the corresponding pair method. If you are using region enter, then until you unsubscribe, the system will notify your delegates.

Answer 3

You do it the right way. When entering background, it's ok if some delegate methods are called for some seconds. That should stop.

Where do you stop the location updates ? Are you sure it is triggered ? If yes, are your delegate method called even if the visual indicators tell something else ?

Are you sure you don't trigger a method that reactivate the location update after you have stopped it (because for example you can receive some updates even after stopped).
