Michal Mocny commented on CB-1603:
----------------------------------
I've not yet been able to duplicate this, but I would like to point out that on
an ios6 device (ipad3) when I run the Location tests, I get the compass icon as
soon as I ask for location, and the icon never goes away. There is a pair of
"start/stop" watching locations buttons, but the compass persists even when the
tests claim location tracking is off (webview issue? cordova issue?).
Investigating.
> Compass / Geolocation issue on iOS 6 (iPhone)
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-1603
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1603
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: iOS
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Environment: iPhone 5, iOS 6
> Reporter: Martin Ambrus
> Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: geolocation, location
>
> Applications targeted for iPhone (iOS 4.2+) using Cordova 2.0 and developed
> in XCode 4.5 automatically turn on Compass / Geolocation. User is never asked
> if they want to reveal their location to the app, so it's probably the
> Compass plugin kicking in.
> What we see is the compass arrow on the right-hand top side of iPhone screen
> (status bar). When the application closes, arrow disappears.
> This is an issue for us, as it drains considerably more battery than version
> running on iOS 5.1, where this problem does not exist.
> We have tried to remove all - Location, Compass and GeoLocation plugins from
> the Cordova.plist to no avail.
