BW::Location no longer accessing CLLocation properly in iOS9.1

[YoDK]

Since updating to iOS 9.1 BW::Location seems to no longer return a valid CLLocation (:error=>3).

I can confirm (in 9.1) that BW::Location.enabled? returns true and BW::Location.authorized? also returns true.

Also confirmed that the same code in iPhoneSImulator8.4 returns proper CLLocation

Hi,
any workaround on this?? i'm having the same problem here. in my case in fails on BW::Location.authorized? and asking for permission...

[YoDK]

@soyoh did you include:

  app.frameworks += ['CoreData', 'CoreLocation']
  app.info_plist['NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription'] = 'Description.'
  app.info_plist['NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription'] = 'Description.'

in your apps Motion::Project::App.setup config ?

FYI: Here' a SO post that can help you install the iOS 8.4 Simulator for Xcode 7.1 (last known working config for BW::Location) - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33377837/error-sdk-iphonesimulator9-0-cannot-be-located

The app.frameworks line shouldn't be required here. Bubblewrap automatically includes CoreLocation for you, and CoreLocation doesn't require CoreData as far as I know.

Hi Guys,
Thanks, i managed to see the permissions alert (it was because i missed "NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription"), but now my app crashes when using "Location::get_once""

this is the error:

2015-11-07 00:35:14.348 app[89887:5025324] functions.rb:15:in `block in get_location_and_users': wrong number of arguments (0 for 1) (ArgumentError)
    from functions.rb:15:in `locationManager:didUpdateLocations:'
2015-11-07 00:35:14.361 app[89887:5025324] expected Proc with 1 arguments (got 0) (ArgumentError)

and this is the code i'm using:

BW::Location.get_once(desired_accuracy: :three_kilometers) do |result|
      mp.result
      if result.is_a?(CLLocation)
        mp result.coordinate.latitude
        mp result.coordinate.longitude
      else
        mp "ERROR: #{result[:error]}"
      end
    end

well, i'm using the simulator, i suppouse that is because of this, and it doesnt provide a location, do you know how can i "fake" it??

any hint? thank you!!

[YoDK]

I'm not sure about the BW error. But you can set the GPS location of the Simulator by going to Debug > Location > Custom Location

Then I use Google Maps to give me the longitude and latitude of a location I'm interested in.

The sun has always had an issue where it return an error every once in a while. Try turning off the location in the sim and then reactivating it and trying again

OMG... Yes I did just suggest "have you tried turning it off and back on again?" Lol

[soyoh]

haha, i already tried that @markrickert i tried turning off location, removing permissions, and removing app to ask permissions again... the same error happens
ios SDK 9.1 and deployment_target 8.4 or 9.0

Found a workaround that works for iOS9.1 here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26675412/how-do-i-get-the-coordinates-of-the-ios-device-using-rubymotion

Thanks @YoDK ! i've deicded to go this way for now, until BW plays better with ios 9
