geolocation is always muted in ios8

[chaosgamestudio_com_blog_]

geolocation is always muted and can't get any location permission to use GPS in ios8. Is there anyway to solve out it. Any good GPS ane recommended?

Hi

Starting with iOS 8, you would need to add tags under Info-Additions in the app-xml for getting the Geolocation permissions.

More details on how to add these tags is available here.

Hi there,

so i have tried compiling both with 16.0.0.272 and beta 17.0.0.123 but the problem persists. It works great on android but not in iOS 8.2 i have added a sample app with the map we use (arcgis) for you to check.
Dropbox - SampleMap.fxp

please let me know.

Thanks for sharing the project.

We verified the issue with project provided above but we are getting a white screen on launching application on iOS device, Could you please confirm if this project is working at your end.

Also, I have attaching working sample swf and xml file here Dropbox - Geolocation.zip‌‌. it will be helpful if you could verify it on your device and let us know you findings.

To verify, Just package IPA using swf and xml and install on device. Launch application and press button 1, you could see the updates in longitude and latitude values as you move device around.

Is it possible to get the source so that we can build through Flash CC?

Thanks!

[Martin D.]

It works now! Honestly it was all down to the fact that Flash CC overwrote my XML manifest.  I locked the file and voila!

Thanks guys!

I have upgraded the sample project. There was a compiler error on the fxp. i will test your project and get back to you.
