User Current Location - Mapkit iOS Objective C

Question

I am trying to find User's current location using Location Manager. Below is my code in viewdidload

locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];

locationManager.delegate = self;

//locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone;

locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;

if(IS_OS_8_OR_LATER)
{
    [locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];

    [locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
}

[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];

and in didUpdateLocations

self.userLocation = locations.lastObject;

if (userLocation != nil)
{
    NSLog(@"sdsd %f %f", userLocation.coordinate.longitude, userLocation.coordinate.latitude);

[locationManager stopUpdatingLocation];
}

Am getting confirmation dialog and users location as set in simulation but not real time location even in device. I configured all settings in both device as well as xcode but still getting default location only.

Please let me know what should I do to get my realtime location and not simulation location?

Answer 1

The simulator does not receive your current location from the operating system. To debug you can select Debug->Location->City Bicycle Ride in the simulator. This will simulate a bike ride around the block.

On the device it can take a while to get your current location if you are indoors. Turning on bluetooth and WIFI help iOS get a location faster.

Answer 2

Open your xCode go to Product-> Scheme-> Edit Scheme and then here inside Run select Core location and check the Allow location simulation . May be it will work.
