My app only asks for push-notifications permission but not for location. How can I fix that?

Question

In my app I have both of these lines:

manager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(options: [.sound,.alert], completionHandler: {didAllow, error in})

But when loaded, my application only requests permission for notifications. My app wouldn't work without the user giving permission to use its location. How can I fix this?

I can do assumption that you already grant permission or denied it. To verify it try to run this code:

let status = CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus()

And detect status of the CLLocationManager now you will know what kind of state it is.

If state is notDetermined ask for the permission in this way.

Make sure that NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription key is present and has a string value in your Info.plist, otherwise location permission dialog wont appear
