How to get current location in ios 8?

Question

I have been working on an ios8 program for a while, I need the source code of getting current location, if you have these please upload it in a zip file.

Answer 1

You need to do following stuff for iOS8:

#define IS_OS_8_OR_LATER ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.0)
-(void)viewDidLoad
{  
[super viewDidLoad];
self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];

self.locationManager.delegate = self;
if(IS_OS_8_OR_LATER){
NSUInteger code = [CLLocationManager authorizationStatus];
if (code == kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined && ([self.locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestAlwaysAuthorization)] ||     [self.locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestWhenInUseAuthorization)])) {
    // choose one request according to your business.
    if([[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription"]){
        [self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
    } else if([[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription"]) {
        [self.locationManager  requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
    } else {
        NSLog(@"Info.plist does not contain NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription or NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription");
    }
}
}
[self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}

#pragma mark - CLLocationManagerDelegate
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
NSLog(@"didFailWithError: %@", error);
UIAlertView *errorAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
                           initWithTitle:@"Error" message:@"Failed to Get Your Location" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[errorAlert show];
}

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
NSLog(@"didUpdateToLocation: %@", newLocation);
CLLocation *currentLocation = newLocation;

if (currentLocation != nil) {
    longitudeLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.8f", currentLocation.coordinate.longitude];
    latitudeLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.8f", currentLocation.coordinate.latitude];
}
}

You need to do two extra things to get location working:

Add a key to your Info.plist Request authorization from the location manager asking it to start. Any one or both of below keys needs to be added in Info.plist file.

NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription These are of String type and value can be any message description or empty.

Now you need to request authorisation for corresponding location method. Use any one of below calls :

[self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization] [self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization]
