IOS - Domain=kCLErrorDomain Code=4, even with WhenInUseAuthorization

[carlo318]

Hi, the plugin works fine on Android, but I get some issues with IOS (9.3 and above) and Ionic-Cordova. The code is like this:

cordova.plugins.locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization(); var delegate = new cordova.plugins.locationManager.Delegate(); delegate.didEnterRegion = function (result){ // Some code }; cordova.plugins.locationManager.setDelegate(delegate); var _beaconR = new cordova.plugins.locationManager.BeaconRegion(beacon.id, beacon.uuid); cordova.plugins.locationManager.startMonitoringForRegion(_beaconR) .fail(function(e) { console.error(e); }).done();

I put all the authorization descriptions in info .plist: NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription

Still, I get this error: _onDelegateCallback() {"eventType":"monitoringDidFailForRegionWithError","error":"Error Domain=kCLErrorDomain Code=4 \"(null)\"","region":"11111111"

Is it a plugin issue, or am I missing something? Thankyou. Carlo

I could make it work, but with a too stricted condition. Only if I ask for permission at the very start of the App (the first instruction in ionicPlatform.ready:

$ionicPlatform.ready(function() { cordova.plugins.locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization(); [...] });

Only this way I get the App to ask for permission and then work properly. It's not a good behaviour for me because not always I want to ask for permission (some users of the App will not need to use the Beacon). But I cannot find a better solution. If I ask for permission later, only when I enter a specific page, I get the error monitoringDidFailForRegionWithError because, don't know why, the plugin already decided that the user didn't answer to the authorization request (AuthorizationStatusNotDetermined), so the state is already "Denied". Anyone had a similar issue and knows a better solution? Thankyou. Carlo
