Question

Here is some simple code:

// ViewControllerA.m

-(void) viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.networkMonitor = [[NetworkMonitor alloc] init];

    ...

    [self.networkMonitor.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];

    ...
}

in network monitor:

// NetworkMonitor.m

-(id) init
{
    self = [super init];
    if (self != nil) {
        self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
        [self.locationManager setDelegate:self];
    }
    return self;
}

...

// this is never called!
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations 
{


    NSLog(@"%s, location manager returned a new location.", __FUNCTION__);

    ...

}

// and neither is this
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
   didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
    NSLog(@"Error: %@", [error description]);
}

I’ve called startUpdatingLocation, NetworkMonitor implements CLLocationManagerDelegate…why am I not getting any calls to didUpdateLocations? Am I misunderstanding when this method should get called? I assume that once startUpdatingLocation is called, I should receive at least one call to didUpdateLocations… I’m simply trying to get the user’s current location (without using a map). Any ideas or thoughts would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

are you building for ios6? from docs: In iOS 5 and earlier, the location manager calls the locationManager:didUpdateToLocation:fromLocation: method instead.
