LocationManager 'didExitRegion' did not receive iBeacon Xcode title
I am working with iBeacon iOS. I started coding with Xcode 5.1. At that time, all delegates are called. But while I was updating my Xcode to 6.0.1 to support the app in iOS 8, the following delegation method is not called (tested on device):
-(void) locationManager:(CLLocationManager*)manager
didExitRegion:(CLRegion*)region
This works great in iOS 7. Can anyone suggest me any possible solution for me? Thanks in advance.
Kepp this with your locationmanager instance
self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
// New iOS 8 request for Always Authorization, required for iBeacons to work!
if([self.locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestAlwaysAuthorization)]) {
[self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
}
and update your app background image. I am running this in iOS 8 and it works like a charm.
For more information, you can read this iBeacon article http://ibeaconmodules.us/blogs/news/14279747-tutorial-ibeacon-app-development-with-corelocation-on-apple-ios-7-8
In iOS 8, requesting host permissions is slightly different. You must ask to either allow your app to use location services while using your app, or always.
For iBeons to run in the background, you must request that permissions always have feedback from Core Location, so always allow location updates.
After checking
Go to settings
> Privacy
> Location services
> Your app
>Always
Add this to Location Manager for iOS8:
// Needed for iOS 8
if([self.locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestAlwaysAuthorization)]) {
[self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
}
