----------------------------------
And we appreciate you help! While waiting for your sample, I'll look to find
an iPhone with ios6, just in case that does have something to do with it.
> 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: 2.1.0
> Environment: iPhone 5, iOS 6
> Reporter: Martin Ambrus
> Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: geolocation, location
> Fix For: 2.2.0
>
>
> Applications targeted for iPhone (iOS 4.3+) using Cordova 2.1 and developed
> in XCode 4.5 automatically turn on Compass / Geolocation. This is true only
> for devices that have iOS 6 installed. 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.
