Babette Stam created CB-13680:
---------------------------------
Summary: cordova-plugin-geolocation permission request going wrong
in newer iOS version
Key: CB-13680
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13680
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: cordova-plugin-geolocation
Environment: iOS
Reporter: Babette Stam
Priority: Minor
Fix For: Master
When you want to request the always access location permissions the newer iOS
version requires that the NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription and
NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription are both set. It is not allowed to only set
the NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription anymore.
But in the Cordova code there is a check that when you have the
NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription set, the application will only ask the user
permission to use the location in app usage (requestWhenInUseAuthorization). It
will run the requestAlwaysAuthorization.
I saw a different issue reported 2 years ago with the question reversed
(CB-8826). This was then implemented, but is not working with the latest
version. The following code should be edited:
{code:javascript}
#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0
NSUInteger code = [CLLocationManager authorizationStatus];
if (code == kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined && ([self.locationManager
respondsToSelector:@selector(requestAlwaysAuthorization)] ||
[self.locationManager
respondsToSelector:@selector(requestWhenInUseAuthorization)])) { //iOS8+
__highAccuracyEnabled = enableHighAccuracy;
if([[NSBundle mainBundle]
objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription"]){
[self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
} else if([[NSBundle mainBundle]
objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription"]) {
[self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
} else {
NSLog(@"[Warning] No NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription or
NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription key is defined in the Info.plist file.");
}
return;
}
#endif
{code}
It should be:
#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0
NSUInteger code = [CLLocationManager authorizationStatus];
if (code == kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined && ([self.locationManager
respondsToSelector:@selector(requestAlwaysAuthorization)] ||
[self.locationManager
respondsToSelector:@selector(requestWhenInUseAuthorization)])) { //iOS8+
__highAccuracyEnabled = enableHighAccuracy;
if([[NSBundle mainBundle]
objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription"]) {
[self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
} else if([[NSBundle mainBundle]
objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription"]){
[self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
} else {
NSLog(@"[Warning] No NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription or
NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription key is defined in the Info.plist file.");
}
return;
}
#endif
