Becky Gibson commented on CB-1603:
----------------------------------
I can't duplicate this. I have an iPhone 4S that has been updated with iOS 6.
I have a Cordova 2.0 app with EnableLocationServices set to no. I build this
in Xcode 4.5 on Mountain Lion with the Base SDK set at Latest iOS (iOS 6),
Build Active Architecture Only set to yes, and iOS Deployment target set to iOS
4.3. I made the necessary architecture changes to armv7 in order to build.
I do not see the compass arrow when I launch and run the app. I have the
option to request the location and if I call into the Cordova location api I
get prompted with the approval dialog which I can accept or reject. My response
is set in the Settings Privacy Location entry for my app. If I accept the
location request and get the location, I see the compass arrow displayed for
several seconds and then it disappears. I went through the code (both 2.0 and
edge) and I can't see why the location arrow would get turned on for the
duration of the app. Cordova does turn on location at startup IF
enableLocationServices is set to yes. In that case I will be prompted to accept
location services at first run and the compass arrow disappears after several
seconds.
I also don't see this issue in an app built from the edge sources.
As an additional debugging note to myself - if you have location services
turned on for the Reminder app the compass arrow will always be displayed.
> Compass / Geolocation issue on iOS 6 (iPhone)
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-1603
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1603
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: iOS
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Environment: iPhone 5, iOS 6
> Reporter: Martin Ambrus
> Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: geolocation, location
>
> Applications targeted for iPhone (iOS 4.2+) using Cordova 2.0 and developed
> in XCode 4.5 automatically turn on Compass / Geolocation. User is never asked
> if they want to reveal their location to the app, so it's probably the
> Compass plugin kicking in.
> What we see is the compass arrow on the right-hand top side of iPhone screen
> (status bar). When the application closes, arrow disappears.
> This is an issue for us, as it drains considerably more battery than version
> running on iOS 5.1, where this problem does not exist.
> We have tried to remove all - Location, Compass and GeoLocation plugins from
> the Cordova.plist to no avail.
