764 PointsI am tying to get iPhone's coordinates for an API key . Please help.
So I'm tying to get the coordinates of an iPhone ( simulator) but it gives me an error every time. Can someone tell me good code for this ( Swift 2.0 , Xcode 7.0.1) Thanks in advance.

764 PointsThat was the one without errors , this is the one with lots of errors :
import UIKit
import CoreLocation
class ViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!, didUpdateLocations locations: [AnyObject]!) {
CLGeocoder().reverseGeocodeLocation(manager.location, completionHandler: {(placemarks, error)->Void in
if error {
print("Reverse geocoder failed with error" + error.localizedDescription)
return
}
if placemarks.count > 0 {
let pm = placemarks[0] as CLPlacemark
self.displayLocationInfo(pm)
} else {
print("Problem with the data received from geocoder")
}
})
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: NSError) {
print("Error:" + error.localizedDescription)
}
func displayLocationInfo(placemark: CLPlacemark) {
if placemark != nil {
//stop updating location to save battery life
locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation()
print(containsPlacemark.location.coordinate.latitude)
print(containsPlacemark.location.coordinate.longitude)
}

Courses Plus Student 13,392 PointsWithout knowing what your exact errors are, and where they occur, this seems to compile within a Playground
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) { // Using wrong method?
CLGeocoder().reverseGeocodeLocation(manager.location!, completionHandler: {(placemarks, error) -> Void in
if error != nil {
print("Reverse geocoder failed with error" + error!.localizedDescription) // Must unwrap 'error'
return
}
if placemarks!.count > 0 { // Must unwrap 'placemarks'
let pm:CLPlacemark = placemarks!.first! // Must unwrap 'placemarks'
self.displayLocationInfo(pm)
} else {
print("Problem with the data received from geocoder")
}
})
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: NSError) {
print("Error:" + error.localizedDescription)
}
func displayLocationInfo(placemark: CLPlacemark?) // Need '?' to make Optional
{
if placemark != nil {
//stop updating location to save battery life
locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation()
print(containsPlacemark.location.coordinate.latitude) // Is 'containsPlacemark.location....' your own method?
print(containsPlacemark.location.coordinate.longitude)
}
}
It's best you resubmit your code including comments with the exact errors your seeing, next to the exact lines of code where they're being thrown.
