Question

I am very new to this technology so please help me.

I am using CLLocationManager to get current location and my application has custom settings showing status that he has allowed for current location or not i.e. message prompt which comes by default when we write

[self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];

If user taps on don’t allow on that message prompt and goes back to my application custom setting and changes off button for getting location to on, can I get current location of user.

How this thing can be implemented?

Once location services have been user denied for your app it can only be turned back on in the general settings – so tell the user that then send them there. (You might want to use a UIAlertView to notify them first.)

// If Location Services are disabled, restricted or denied.
if ((![CLLocationManager locationServicesEnabled])
    || ([CLLocationManager authorizationStatus] == kCLAuthorizationStatusRestricted)
    || ([CLLocationManager authorizationStatus] == kCLAuthorizationStatusDenied))
{
    // Send the user to the location settings preferences
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString: @"prefs:root=LOCATION_SERVICES"]];
}
