Use this key if your iOS app accesses location information in the background, and you deploy to a target earlier than iOS 11. In that case, add both this key and NSLocation to your app’s Info file with the same message. Apps running on older versions of the OS use the message associated with NSLocation, while apps running on later versions use the one associated with NSLocation.
If your app only needs location information when in the foreground, use NSLocation instead. For more information, see Choosing the Location Services Authorization to Request.
If you need location information in a macOS app, use NSLocation instead.
