Summary: When using Core Location on iOS 8 in an app built against the iOS 7 SDK, Core Location doesn't ask for permission to use location and thus the app never receives any location updates. -[CLLocationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization] and -[CLLocationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization] are not available in iOS 7. Steps to Reproduce: Build an app using Core Location using Xcode 5.1.1 and run it on a device running iOS 8 with plist key NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription Expected Results: Core Location should ask for permission. Actual Results: It does not. - Duped from http://openradar.appspot.com/17465666 - Fix: Must use plist key NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription - Response from Apple: Marked as Duplicate of 18011916 (Closed)
