Michal Mocny commented on CB-1603:
----------------------------------
Martin,
It would be great if you could file an issue with them.
However, I am sure that most jquery mobile devs are not set up for cordova and
they will ask for a repro that does not include it. If you can find a way to
reproduce inside of a normal mobile web app, or inside a simple webview app, I
am sure that that will help.
Please post the issue here once you file it with them, so that we can track it
too.
Much appreciated! (and if you don't get around to doing this, or you cannot
reproduce outside of a cordova app, let me know)
> 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.
