CLLocationManager doesn't store location

This is the reason for your problem: In iOS 8, this code doesn’t just fail, it fails silently. You will get no error or warning, you won’t ever get a location update and you won’t understand why. Your app will never even ask for permission to use location

the solution: In iOS 8 you need to do two extra things to get location working: Add a key to your Info.plist and request authorization from the location manager asking it to start. There are two Info.plist keys for the new location authorization. One or both of these keys is required. If neither of the keys are there, you can call startUpdatingLocation but the location manager won’t actually start. It won’t send a failure message to the delegate either (since it never started, it can’t fail). It will also fail if you add one or both of the keys but forget to explicitly request authorization.

So the first thing you need to do is to add one or both of the following keys to your Info.plist file:

NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription Both of these keys take a string which is a description of why you need location services. You can enter a string like “Location is required to find out where you are” which, as in iOS 7, can be localized in the InfoPlist.strings file.

Next you need to request authorization for the corresponding location method, WhenInUse or Background. Use one of these calls:

[self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization]
[self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization]

Here’s a full implementation of a view controller with a location manager asking for WhenInUse (foreground) authorization. This is a basic example which doesn’t take into account whether the user has already denied or restricted location.

#import "ViewController.h"
@import CoreLocation;

@interface ViewController () <CLLocationManagerDelegate>
@property (strong, nonatomic) CLLocationManager *locationManager;
@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    // ** Don't forget to add NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription in MyApp-Info.plist and give it a string

    self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
    self.locationManager.delegate = self;
    // Check for iOS 8. Without this guard the code will crash with "unknown selector" on iOS 7.
    if ([self.locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestWhenInUseAuthorization)]) {
        [self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
    }
    [self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}

// Location Manager Delegate Methods    
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations
{
    NSLog(@"%@", [locations lastObject]);
}

@end
