Get user's current location in Xamarin iOS

Question

I would like to get the user's current location in iOS Xamarin. Here is my code.

CLLocationManager locationManager = new CLLocationManager();
locationManager.StartUpdatingLocation();
locationManager.StartUpdatingHeading();

locationManager.LocationsUpdated += delegate(object sender , CLLocationsUpdatedEventArgs e )
{
    foreach(CLLocation loc in e.Locations)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(loc.Coordinate.Latitude);
    }
};

1.When i launch my app, a dialog "AppName would like to use your current location" pops in and after one or two seconds it dismisses by itself(before i could click any button). Why is this happening?

2. App works fine when i manually(settings->privacy->locations) enable location services for my app. I want this to happen programmatically. I have checked this post also similar question .Where am i going wrong?

Please help

Answer 1

Is this for iOS8? Did you call RequestWhenInUseAuthorization?

As for the dismiss of the dialog, that is most likely due to the locationManager variable not being declared at the class level.
