Hello everyone,
I'm encountering a strange location authorization issue in the iOS simulator, and I'm hoping someone can help me analyze it.
Problem Description:
When my app runs for the first time in the simulator, it requests location permissions.
I select "Deny" for the authorization.
Then, I go to the simulator's "Settings" -> "Privacy & Security" -> "Location Services" and enable location permissions for my app.
However, when I return to the app, CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus still returns .notDetermined, and the authorization request pop-up does not appear again.
This issue persists even after resetting the simulator settings multiple times.
import CoreLocation
@Observable
final class LocationManager: NSObject, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
var locationManager = CLLocationManager()
var currentLocation: CLLocationCoordinate2D?
override init() {
super.init()
locationManager.delegate = self
}
func locationManagerDidChangeAuthorization(_ manager: CLLocationManager) {
let status = manager.authorizationStatus
print("Authorize Status: \(status)")
switch status {
case .authorizedWhenInUse, .authorizedAlways:
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
case .denied, .restricted:
stopLocation()
case .notDetermined:
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
print("Location permission not determined.")
@unknown default:
break
}
}
func requestLocation() {
let status = locationManager.authorizationStatus
if status == .authorizedWhenInUse || status == .authorizedAlways {
locationManager.requestLocation()
} else {
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
}
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
guard let newLocation = locations.first else { return }
currentLocation = newLocation.coordinate
print("Updated location: \(newLocation.coordinate)")
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: Error) {
print("Location update failed with error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
currentLocation = nil
}
func stopLocation() {
locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation()
print("Stopped updating location")
}
}
