Cannot add geofence on iOS device #5

Closed harryfk closed 8 years ago

harryfk commented 9 years ago

Just downloaded your sample app, seems to work fine in the browser, however geofences are hard to test in a bowser, so I wanted to test on a real device. :)

I installed it on my iPhone 5S (iOS8) with ionic run ios … app starts up fine, all UI looks good. I hit the + button, $ionicLoading comes up trying to fetch the location and then it just goes away. No error message, just fades away and shows the start screen again. I expected the little native popup to come up whether I want to allow the app to access my location, but get nothing of the likes. Just fails silently.

Any idea how to debug this or what is going wrong?

Thanks a bunch for your work!

I think for ios testing, you need to add the geofence plugin. However, when I do, I get compile errors with Swift using SDKROOT = iphonesimulator8.3. I am not familiar with Swift at all, so can't really tell what's wrong.

Sample error message:

.../.../ionic-geofence/platforms/ios/ionic-geofence/Plugins/com.cowbell.cordova.geofence/SwiftData.swift:1018:149: error: 'AnyObject' is not convertible to 'String'; did you mean to use 'as!' to force downcast? let docsPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSSearchPathDirectory.DocumentDirectory, NSSearchPathDomainMask.UserDomainMask, true)[0] as String

In my case, the compile error was due to the fact that I have the latest Xcode 6.3 beta 2 with Swift 1.2. I had to convert swift codes to Swift1.2 and everything worked.

I believe that should be fixed by now.
