Location Services on ios6

Hello,

Location services do not work on ios6. The app is not even listed in Privacy settings->Location services and the goelocation api always reports muted. This is a major issue since ios6 will be released on September 19th. My app got rejected because of this( i submitted an app with AIR 3.2 which was working fine on ios5). They told me that they (the reviewer) updated their ios to 6 on September 12.So when they send me the rejection i installed ios6 developer preview on my iphone and reproduced the issue to. I tried building the app with air 3.4.0.2450 but the issue remains. This is a major problem for me and i suspect for a lot others. Any workarounds?

We request you to try a workaround as below, and let us know if it works for you.

This is the same problem that we saw with the iOS 6 beta, and is unacceptable.
