Not getting callbacks of delegate methods in NSObject class ios swift

Question

-- Usage of class is mentioned in top of class file as a commented code.

-- This class is used to find user's location and after that from location country is fetched with google's API.

-- Did not get location callbacks in locationManager's delegate methods like "didUpdateLocations" even if i wrote "locationManager.delegate = self".

-- Please check below code. I need help guyz to find out what wet wrong. If this type of configuration not possible then please suggest me alternative code block to replace below code.

    import UIKit
    import CoreLocation

Answer 1

I think instance of your class GetCountryCode is deallocated before delegate method called. Store that instance of GetCountryCode after you created it. Let me know if this helped you.
