GPS works on android, on iOS must manually enable location services.

Hello, 

I am developing an app that makes heavy use of location services. On android, it works perfectly, but on iOS, it doesn’t work right. The location icon in the notification bar does not even appear, so the GPS data is cannot be attained.

 A solution is to into the settings app (Setting > Privacy > “My App Name”) and change the setting from ‘Never’ to ‘While using the app’. Once this is changed it works fine, and the location icon appears as it should. But this solution is not user friendly. 

Yes, I added this, as suggested in other threads:

 NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription = "The reason why...",

Is there a way to ask the user for permission right when the app launches? I’ve seen this implemented in other apps before. 

Using Public Build -  2393

Testing on iOS 8 device. Ipad 4 

Thanks.

Please upgrade to 2511 and see if you see a different behavior.
