Michal Mocny commented on CB-1603:
----------------------------------
@Martin, thanks for answering all questions timely!
Seems I can't repro the previous behaviour of compass icon not disappearing
until page navigation. Perhaps I had a running location watch somehow (maybe a
bug in mobilespec somewhere?)..
Anyway, I'm using the tip of tree, I'll try with the 2.1 release to see if I
can repro there. Either the issue has been fixed somehow, or we Martin is
doing something unique that neither of us have been able to reproduce. I'll
report back soon, but in the mean time Martin, can you try to make a simple
reproducible test case outside of your app, and attach it to this bug?
> 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: 2.1.0
> Environment: iPhone 5, iOS 6
> Reporter: Martin Ambrus
> Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: geolocation, location
> Fix For: 2.2.0
>
>
> Applications targeted for iPhone (iOS 4.3+) using Cordova 2.1 and developed
> in XCode 4.5 automatically turn on Compass / Geolocation. This is true only
> for devices that have iOS 6 installed. 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.
