Michal Mocny commented on CB-1603:
----------------------------------
Great news, glad you nailed it!
By the looks of it, you aren't even including cordova at all right? Is this
some poor interaction between our javascript, or just their bug entirely?
> 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.
