IOS8 breaks the plugin about cordova-plugin-ibeacon HOT 13 CLOSED

Apple implemented a new thing for iBeacon's that give users more control over tracking. Apple will allow you start monitoring but without users acceptance you won't be allowed to range. The two new permissions are requestAlwaysAuthorization and requestWhenInUseAuthorization. I have successfully modified the CDVILocationManager.m library. I will do a pull request today.

Whoops - just did a pull request for the same thing. Rudy's version tests for whether CLLocationManager responds to the request selectors - which I think makes this backward compatible with 7. My version implements the authorizationDidChange callback, which will be useful to have. Maybe the new version should include aspects of both?

I am new to git. If you do a pull request does that mean I have access to the code if I just do a new install or is their something else I need to do?

@hsmith825 a pull-request means that we have submitted changes under a new branch that we would like to have implemented in the master branch. There is nothing to do right now but wait for @petermetz or @mrtree1 to merge our changes into the master. @jbeuckm that callback is a good idea.

Thanks!

Hi Rudy,

Thanks! Let me know when you do the pull and I will reinstall the plugin. It sounds like that is reinstalling the plugin is the only change I will need to make to my app.

Hi @rudy-tassuru and @jbeuckm I've had a look at the pulls from both of you. Definitely like both backward compatitbility and the callback. Do you think that between you, you can create a single consistent pull, so I can just go an auto-merge. I am hoping to do some work on the plugin late this week, but if you want it in the master sooner, than I need it to be something I don't have to think too much about :)

please also add the following attributes to the plist file:

<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>You need to accept in order to allow location services</string>

<key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
<string>You need to accept in order to allow location services</string>

With out this values nothing will work.

Hi mrtree1 I hope you can get this in the master ASAP. We are desperate.

Thanks!

@jbeuckm Do you have already a beak backward compatible version?

from cordova-plugin-ibeacon.

iOS 8 related changes are now on the master branch and the newest version of the plugin has been released as 3.1.0. On PhoneGap Build or the Cordova Plugins archive it might take a while to get these changes reflected, but until then you can use the github repository to install the most up to date versions.

Thanks Peter!

Hi Peter,

The IOS 8 version works like a charm.

Thanks!
