AIR 16.0.0.272 geolocation not work on iOS

[Reactor13]

Geolocation services not works at all on iOS devices if application compile using AIR SDK 16.0.0.272 for Windows.

While the release notes indicated: (fixed issues) Geolocation services are not working (Bug 3916071)

Geolocation service is allways muted on iOS 8.1.2.

There are no system dialog about Geolocation permission, as well as by using AIR SDK 16.0.0.250 beta

Is it a know issue?

I'm having the same issue here. Geolocation doesn't work with the most recent version of AIR despite the claim that this has been fixed.

Hi,

Could you please follow the steps mentioned at Adobe AIR * iOS Settings and Geolocation - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference for Geolocation.

Please let us know if that does not work for you.

Thanks,

Adobe Air Team

Yes, using additional key-value it's work!

<key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key>

<string>Sample description to allow geolocation always</string>

or

<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>

<string>Sample description to allow geolocation when application is in foreground</string>

Thank you!

Do you know if there is a way to provide localized strings for NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription and NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription? If not, I created a feature requests on Adobe's bugbase that you can vote Feature#3954108 - Ability to localize strings inside the iOS info plist

I'm facing the same problem... would be nice to add localisation in location key Info Additions. It's even a must have for multi languages apps.
