### iOS Quirks
- Since iOS 10 it's mandatory to provide an usage description in the
`info.plist` if trying to access privacy-sensitive data. When the system
prompts the user to allow access, this usage description string will displayed
as part of the permission dialog box, but if you didn't provide the usage
description, the app will crash before showing the dialog. Also, Apple will
reject apps that access private data but don't provide an usage description.
+As precised in the (apple
documentation)[https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/choosing_the_authorization_level_for_location_services/requesting_when_in_use_authorization],
this plugin requires the following usage description to use the native
location service:
- This plugins requires the following usage description:
+* `NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription`
- * `NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription` describes the reason that the app
accesses the user's location.
-
- To add this entry into the `info.plist`, you can use the `edit-config` tag in
the `config.xml` like this:
+By default, the usage description is set as: « The application needs to access
location data to make the user experience more efficient and reliable. »
+
+You can precise this value at installation:
```
-<edit-config target="NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription" file="*-Info.plist"
mode="merge">
- <string>need location access to find things nearby</string>
-</edit-config>
+cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-geolocation --variable USAGE_DESCRIPTION="My
usage description"
```

> Key: CB-14085
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-14085
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: cordova-plugin-geolocation
> Affects Versions: cordova-android-7.0.0
> Reporter: Gauthier Saison
> Priority: Critical
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> The apache plugin cordova-plugin-geolocation is fully reliable on android but
> now bugged on iOS caused by missed properties injections in the plist file:
> NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription and
> NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription have to be precised on [the offcial Apple
> documentation|https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/choosing_the_authorization_level_for_location_services/requesting_always_authorization].
> Those entries can now be added directly on the plugin installation by
> requesting a IOS_USAGE_DESCRIPTION variable.
> To fix this problem, a few lines has to be added on the plugin.xml, and the
> readme has to be updated.
