GeoLocationService keeps asking for permission on app launch

[Tom6106181]

Hi.

I am invoking Device - GeoLocationService on my start page.

On device testing + Xcode simulator (IOS), the app keeps asking 2 times, every time I launch the app, to allow app using my location + 1 more time for startScreen.html to use my location.

Like this:

• Launch app

• AppName would like to use your location (OK/Don't allow)

• ../xxx/startScreen.html would like to use your location (OK/Don't allow)

  This happens on every launch of app.

  How Can I avoid this? Saving this setting, so the app-user do not have to "allow" using location several times, every time app launches!?!

  Should be enough to allow this 1 time!?!

  Thanks!

Hi Tom,

Please check, perhaps you are invoking GeoLocation service several times.

[Tom6106181]

only invoking 1 time.
code
startScreen
Load
Invoke service Datasource: startGeoLocationService
/code

Can you post us a public link, so we can test it?

Here is a screenshot of what is happening, and my setup:

You will need to test in xcode or on a device. In mobile preview, it only ask 1 time.

We'll test this case, Tom. And update you here.

Hello!

You should call geolocation service on 'deviceready' event instead 'pageshow'
