hi developers
my app uses location service, some users are reporting that the app does not appear on their iPhone location services list in the settings. thus they cant give it permission to use the location. they also claim that they did not got the prompt pop up that ask them to turn location on, as I noticed, this happens to users who have updated to 15.0.x and 15.1.x version. before they updated everything worked fine. is anyone have a similar issue?
in my info.plist file I have: NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
thank you
The experience within the settings application, both your app listing and the location services will only show your app AFTER your code has made a request via one of the several authorization APIs. Do you have an onboarding experience or request permission at the time of usage (like when showing a map)?
I've been actively developing and using all of the latest iOS versions and have not observed this in my fitness app, my competitors, or the new app I'm developing using location updates, region monitoring, significant location change, etc. That having been said, I know that requesting location authorization on some watch simulator configurations does NOT show the authorization prompt on the simulator. The same code works on a real device. Probably worth sending in a feedback with a sysdiagnose if you can reproduce something like that on a physical device.
Out of curiosity, which features of Core Location are you using that doesn't appear to be working?
