Summary: IOS8 Geolocation Issue
Key: CB-9432
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9432
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Environment: IOS 8, device and simulator
Reporter: Sean Molyneaux
With IOS 8 request for location services, there seems to be an issue with
cordova geolocation.
What happens is: Regardless of how I have tried to approach it is that the
request window appears only when I close the app (press home). The request
message appears and very quickly disappears making it impossible to activate.
Further whether this is a bug on IOS 8. The geolocation is intermittent both
with watch and get methods.
Android works perfectly but there is something off with the IOS version.
I am using the above plugin to track travel every 30 seconds I tested with
android with a custom ping interval using the get method but had to switch to
watchPosition with a 30sec condition loop to get iOS to barely work.
(With above I record 30 sec intervals with webSQL)
iOS fails about 9 out of 10 times (if I am luckly). I do notice I have to
switch between open and close (home button) to get the location icon to appear
in the status bar. But once it disappears again I have to do the same.
I am going to continue to test both devices as I am code blocked at the moment
with any workarounds.
Mainly I am going to launch with Android but I personally would like IOS as
perfectly as android
Please see video link for context and happy to share code if it helps.
