Description
When you want to request the always access location permissions the newer iOS version requires that the NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription and NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription are both set. It is not allowed to only set the NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription anymore.
But in the Cordova code there is a check that when you have the NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription set, the application will only ask the user permission to use the location in app usage (requestWhenInUseAuthorization). It will run the requestAlwaysAuthorization.
I saw a different issue reported 2 years ago with the question reversed (CB-8826). This was then implemented, but is not working with the latest version. The following code should be edited:
#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0 NSUInteger code = [CLLocationManager authorizationStatus]; if (code == kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined && ([self.locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestAlwaysAuthorization)] || [self.locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestWhenInUseAuthorization)])) { //iOS8+ __highAccuracyEnabled = enableHighAccuracy; if([[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription"]){ [self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization]; } else if([[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription"]) { [self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization]; } else { NSLog(@"[Warning] No NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription or NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription key is defined in the Info.plist file."); } return; } #endif
It should be:
#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0 NSUInteger code = [CLLocationManager authorizationStatus]; if (code == kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined && ([self.locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestAlwaysAuthorization)] || [self.locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestWhenInUseAuthorization)])) { //iOS8+ __highAccuracyEnabled = enableHighAccuracy; if([[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription"]) { [self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization]; } else if([[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription"]){ [self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization]; } else { NSLog(@"[Warning] No NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription or NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription key is defined in the Info.plist file."); } return; } #endif
