Hi all:
I am rying to make a very simple swift app for the Watch to track distance travlled (learning exercise), and I followed this tutorial which worked perfectly:
https://www.raywenderlich.com/155772/make-app-like-runkeeper-part-1-2
However, when I tried to use the code in a Watchkit app, it does not work. The call to
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation])
never happens and I don't know why...
Full code below, and I added the following keys to the watchkit Extension PLIST:
Privacy - Location Always Usage Description
Privacy - Location Always and When in Use Usage Description
Privacy - Location When In Use Usage Description
Can anyone make any suggestions?
