Question

My task is – to figure out, if there is GPS module available on the device. I’m using
[CLLocationManager locationServicesEnabled] for this.
But, question is – is this normal, that on simulator I have “true”? I think it should be “false”.
Can anybody explain me, how this method works? Is this correct method for my task?

Answer 1

the correct method of checking if ths gps is enabled or not is using this if statement :

if (! ([CLLocationManager locationServicesEnabled]) //chech for location of the device
|| ( [CLLocationManager authorizationStatus] == kCLAuthorizationStatusDenied)) 
//chech for the location of your current app
{
// the gps isn't enabled
} else {
// the gps is enabled
}
