Titanium Location Permission

This module gives you the possibility to shortcircuit the current iOS location permission from Titanium to properly support iOS 11 its new way of location permissions.

Follow Guide

Setup

1. Integrate the module into the modules folder and define them into the tiapp.xml file:

   <modules>
     <module platform="iphone" version="0.1.0">ti.locationpermission</module>
   </modules>

Usage

1. Check if you have a location permission

   var locationPermission = (OS_IOS) ? require('ti.locationpermission') : Ti.Geolocation;
   
   if (locationPermission.hasLocationPermissions(Ti.Geolocation.AUTHORIZATION_WHEN_IN_USE)) {
      alert('true');
   }

2. Request or upgrade location permission

   var locationPermission = (OS_IOS) ? require('ti.locationpermission') : Ti.Geolocation;
   
   locationPermission.requestLocationPermissions(Ti.Geolocation.AUTHORIZATION_WHEN_IN_USE, function(e) {
       alert(e.success);
   });
   
   locationPermission.requestLocationPermissions(Ti.Geolocation.AUTHORIZATION_ALWAYS, function(e) {
       if (OS_IOS && e.authorizationStatus !== Ti.Geolocation.AUTHORIZATION_ALWAYS) {
           alert('Permission wasn\'t upgraded');
       }
   });

Cheers!

Build yourself

iOS

If you already have Titanium installed, skip the first 2 steps, if not let's install Titanium locally.

1. brew install yarn --without-node to install yarn without relying on a specific Node version
2. In the ios directory execute yarn install
3. Alter the titanium.xcconfig to build with the preferred SDK
4. To build the module execute rm -rf build && ./node_modules/.bin/ti build -p ios --build-only
