I've been following this video but the purpose method is deprecated from ios 6. What is the replacement method for it?

Thank you all

You can now set the purpose in the project settings. From the file navigator click on your project file all the way at the top and then select the "Info" tab on your right. You can add a new property that says "Privacy - Location Usage Description" and provide your description to the user as to why you need access to their location.
