Question

I have an iOS application that uses GPS for Location Services. A user would like to use the app on an iPod Touch with an external GPS, but the problem is that the user can’t enable Location Services in Settings->General Settings->Location Services for this app.

When the app is run on an iPhone, in Settings->General Settings->Location Services, the app shows up with a toggle switch to enable/disable Location Services for this app. But when the app is run on an iPod Touch, the app doesn’t show up in Settings->General Settings->Location Services.

Does anyone know what I need to do programmatically to cause Location Services for this app to show up with a toggle switch in Settings->General Settings->Location Services when run on an iPod Touch?

I figured out what the problem was. I had the following code that only allowed Location Services for iPhone and not for iPod. Oops!

if([model hasPrefix:@"iPhone"]){

    self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
    self.locationManager.delegate = self;
    self.locationManager.distanceFilter = 10.0f;
    self.locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
    [self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
    self.locations = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:32];

}
