Geolocation always muted in iPhone

[rodribm75]

1. Installed the last version of Air 2.7;
2. Initialisation of the geolocation class with conditional verification muted / !muted, setRequestedUpdateInterval( 5000 );
3. On the air app xml tried the two ways, UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities ( gps ) and compile with default;
4. Tested in three iPhone's 4;
 

With the all Location Services On the air app always detect that the gps is muted.

Please, does anyone know's what could be the problem?

Cheers,

I'm having the same problem and would appreciate some help.  I've tested on iPad 2, iPod touch as well with no luck. I've also testing using 4.5.0 and 4.5.1 SDKs and neither work.

I've also taken the test code from Adobe's launch pad, INeedIt example, and custom code and all three fail when deployed to iOS.

Can you try resetting Location Warnings at  Settings > general > reset->Reset Location Warnings"? Now again relaunching the app would show the dialog asking for permission.

Thanks,

Yeah I tried that and that did not work either

Hi All,

Based on the very first post, I guess you have written code similar to below code snippet :

var geo:Geolocation=new Geolocation();// Instantiate Geolocation object

if(!geo.muted) // OS returns "true" by default for all apps on first launch

{

geo.addEventListener(GeolocationEvent.UPDATE,geoEventListener); // asks user for permission by showing dialog, BUT NEVER REACHES here since geo.muted is true

}

else

{

trace("Muted: "geo.muted"\n");

}

whereas the code should be as follows :

var geo:Geolocation=new Geolocation(); // Instantiate Geolocation object

geo.addEventListener(GeolocationEvent.UPDATE,geoEventListener); // Request User to access Location services and shows a dialog on very first launch

if(!geo.muted) // Querring if user denied or approved permission

{

trace("User Denied Permission");

}

else

{

trace("Muted: "geo.muted"\n");

}

Most probably I think above would resolve the issue that you are facing, Please give it a try and let me know if it worked. If not can you please paste your code here ?

Thanks and Regards,

Hey Meet I gave that a try and deployed it and it didn't work. I tried a lot of different variations of this from trying it in the init event, pre init event, and within a button event but this is the last version of it. I also reset the location cache on each try but all are muted.  Pretty frustrating.

Here is my code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               initialize="app_initializeHandler(event)"
               preinitialize="app_preinitializeHandler(event)">
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import flash.sensors.Geolocation;
            import mx.events.FlexEvent;
           
            protected function app_initializeHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
            {
                var geo:Geolocation = new Geolocation();
               
                // Instantiate Geolocation object
                // Request User to access Location services and
                //shows a dialog on very first launch - NOT TRUE
                geo.addEventListener(GeolocationEvent.UPDATE, geoEventListener);
               
                lblMuted.text = "Mutted: " + geo.muted;
                lblSupported.text = "Supported: " + Geolocation.isSupported.toString();
            }
            protected function geoEventListener(event:GeolocationEvent):void
            {
                lblLat.text = "Lat: " + event.latitude.toString(2);
                lblLng.text = "Lng: " + event.longitude.toString(2);
            }
            protected function app_preinitializeHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
            {
                var geo:Geolocation = new Geolocation();
               
                // Instantiate Geolocation object
                // Request User to access Location services and
                //shows a dialog on very first launch
                geo.addEventListener(GeolocationEvent.UPDATE, geoEventListener);
            }           
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <fx:Declarations>
        <!-- Place non-visual elements (e.g., services, value objects) here -->
    </fx:Declarations>
    <s:Label id="lblLat" x="10" y="10" text="Lat: ?"/>
    <s:Label id="lblLng" x="10" y="33" text="Lng: ?"/>
    <s:Label id="lblMuted" x="10" y="56" text="Muted: ?"/>
    <s:Label id="lblSupported" x="10" y="79" text="Supported: ?"/>
</s:Application>

Do you have a project zip that you can send that is verified to work?

[Guest]

Can you declare geo as class level variable and instantiate inside initialize/preinitialize finction ?

private var geo:Geolocation;

protected function app_initializeHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
            {
                geo = new Geolocation();

               ..............

               ..............

            }

I will attach sample code in a short while.

Thanks,

Meet

Hi SiggPro,

Did you tried the code at livedocs ?

Thanks,

All - The code Meet has provided works. Thanks for the help and fast replies!

after 1 year   i meed the same problem。。。

过了1年 我遇到了同样问题 

on air 3.4

[Pablomk]

This is still an issue. IOS6 and Air 3.4. Any solutions?

[Pahup]

Hi Pablomk,

Yes, Geolocation problem on iOS 6 devices is known to us,we're investigating it. Thanks for reporting.

-Pahup

[lizeqiangd]

on the official version of ios6 . The problem still existed.

I think there are no solutions until Apple fix it .

only way is downgrade to ios5.. or still waiting

在正式的ios6版本中，问题还是存在，而且没有任何办法。只能切换回ios5了。

问题我已经通知国内的adobe技术平台经理，他表示会提交问题给苹果

[Pahup]

Please follow http://forums.adobe.com/message/4716912#4716912 and let us know how it goes.

Hello,

Has anyone has any luck on IOS8 and Air17?  On my side I have to manually go to the iPhone's settings to get the Geolocation to work event though I've followed Adobe's guide.

Thanks!

[Anki_AG_]

Please follow Re: geolocation is always muted  in ios8

Please let us know if that works for you.
