Brian Strohm commented on CB-1603: ---------------------------------- Forgot to add that the icon will intermittently display in the status bar as a result of Genius for Apps system service being accessed by the app. > 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: Minor > Labels: geolocation, location > Fix For: 2.3.0 > > Attachments: index.html > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
