Hi all,
I'm working on an app which requires the most accurate AGPS available, so it requires a device with cellular capabilities even if the network is going over wifi, and even if the cellular modem is turned off.
The IP-based location services in a non-cellular device (like a wifi-only iPad or an iPod touch just isn't accurate enough for what I'm doing.
I know I can put that in the description in the app store, but I'm wondering if there's a way I can account for it in my code, too. Something like the user interface idiom or iOS version checks you can do, but instead specifically isCellularCapable or some such.
I just want it to be clear whenever someone fires up the app with an iPod touch or a non-cellular iPad that they're going to have a less-than-ideal experience.
I still remember when my kid's friend tried to do Pokemon Go with a non-cellular iPad tethered to my phone, and the device just couldn't figure out where it was supposed to be. I don't want people using my app to have the same experience.
Location isn’t really my field but I think the droid you’re looking for is the gps property in UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities.
Share and Enjoy
