Core Location

Core Location

Request authorization and read user location updates with CLLocationManager, respecting privacy and power.

---

Authorization

Add usage descriptions in Info.plist (e.g., NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription, NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription) and request permission at runtime.

---

Getting Location Updates

Use CLLocationManager for one-shot or continuous updates.

Example

Location.swift

import CoreLocation

class LocationDelegate: NSObject, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
  let manager = CLLocationManager()
  override init() {
super.init()
manager.delegate = self
manager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
manager.startUpdatingLocation()
  }
  func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
print("Last: \(locations.last?.coordinate ?? .init())")
  }
}

This example configures a CLLocationManager, requests authorization, and prints the last known coordinate when updates arrive.
