# Location Push Service Extension

An entitlement to enable a location-sharing app to query someone’s location in response to a push notification.

## Discussion

This entitlement enables your app to monitor for Apple Push Notification service (APNs) pushes with the `location` push type, and receive pushes in your Location Push Service Extension. For more information about the `location` push type, see <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/UserNotifications/sending-notification-requests-to-apns>.

> Note: Without this entitlement, your code receives an error when it calls <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/CoreLocation/CLLocationManager/startMonitoringLocationPushes(completion:)>.

Add the entitlement to your app by following these steps:

1. Open your app’s Xcode project and select your app from the target list.
2. Select the Signing & Capabilities panel.
3. Click “+ Capabilities” and enter “push” in the search field; then double-click Location Push Service Extension to add the entitlement to your app’s entitlements file.

For more information about implementing your Location Push Service Extension, see <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/CoreLocation/creating-a-location-push-service-extension>.
