是否有可能从iOS中的其他应用获取设备的最后已知位置

Question

Im building a location based application, where in i use CLLocation to get users device location. But my question, Is it possible to get users current/last know location from other apps in device which are already using Location services. So i can save the battery of iPhone? Just a thought. Not sure security issue? Or is it possible?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

No. Apps are sandboxed. You can not access info from any other app.

Answer 2

One word

NO

You can't access any info of other apps.

If you want to access any info, you have to jailbreak your iPhone, which Apple never allow.
