GPS is not asking for authorization on iOS

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#21

I changed the code doing it that way. Works fine on Android. In OSX I even got the permission prompt which I said yes but know it does not work on there. I deployed to my iPad. The location services was set to Never for the app. I changed it to Always and ran the app. Np GPS again. I go back to the location services for the app and it is set to Never. Every time I run the app on the device it changes the setting to Never.

Has anyone seen this? I don’t know why. I posted my build settings file above.

I’m down with the app until I can get this working for iOS.

Thanks!!!

It works! Not sure what happened but working. Thanks!!

#23

Btw, I am using the latest build from 3 days ago for OSX.

#24

Have you already hit no on your iOS device, the pop up is a one and done deal. You have to go your app settings if you said no already

#25

No, just loaded it on another device and set the app permissions to allow it. Then ran it and no popup. Same with someone else testing the same app.

#26

Did this work with an older version?

#27

I go to the app’s location settings and set always. I run the app and it does not work. Return back tot he setting for the appp  and it always goes back to never.

#28

This is the only version of anything I have to use. I’m using the current of everything.

#29

Have you tired the sample gps app included with corona?

#30

I also looked under Notifications on the device and it is not listed. Maybe cause it is a development app? But is there something I can set to make sure the notifications are turned on for the app? I’m wondering if something is blocking it.

#31

We just put the SDK through a battery of tests for the public release (2906) and We didn’t find any problems. I’m trying to verify that 9.2 got tested. I know for certain it works on 9.3.

#32

I just looked and when I go to compile for iOS the corona program only allows 9.3. In grey it says if I want 9.2 then I need to install xcode 7.2.

#33

Install or xcode select 7.2 is what it says actually.

#34

Building with the iOS 9.3 SDK and Xcode 7.3 will work just fine on 9.2 devices, and iOS 8 and 7 and maybe 6.

#35

Thanks but something is causing this not to work as far as location services.

#36

Go to application>coronasdk>sample code>hardware> gps and look at that

#37

I was going to use the locationHandler method like in this app example but I could not figure how to stop it after it got the location. Each time I tried to cancel the eventHandler it still kept going even after I changed scenes. I’ll see if it works anyways on my device.

#38

Here the deal o about composer. It only handles objects in the scene groups and that is about it. You are responsible for runtime events, timers, and physics.

#39

Composer does do other thing like store data, mange files, handle recycling, and scene management, I did not mean to insult composer like that :slight_smile:

#40

I know how to use all of it but it doesn’t always listen. For example, I put in the locationHandler to cancel the event after a location was retrieved and it did not for some reason. Maybe it was how I coded it. I’m working on it now and will post the code if it does not work right.

Thanks!
