objective c - Location Services not working in iOS 8

itemprop="text">

My app that worked fine on iOS 7
doesn't work with the iOS 8
SDK.

CLLocationManager
doesn't return a location, and I don't see my app under Settings
-> Location Services either. I did a Google search on the issue,
but nothing came up. What could be wrong?

I ended up
solving my own problem.

Apparently in iOS 8
SDK, requestAlwaysAuthorization (for background location) or
requestWhenInUseAuthorization (location only when foreground)
call on CLLocationManager is needed before starting location
updates.

There also needs to be
NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription or
NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription key in
Info.plist with a message to be displayed in the prompt. Adding
these solved my problem.

Hope it helps someone
else.
