Hi all. The Allow GPS plugin states "This displays a screen that allows a user to prevent their device from reporting it's location to the app. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO INCLUDE THIS SCREEN IF THE APP USES LOCATION INFORMATION. ALWAYS HONOR END-USER REQUESTS TO NOT REPORT THEIR LOCATION." However, the location features and their privacy settings seem to have changed a lot recently (on iOS) and the settings are controlled by accepting/rejecting on screen prompts. In fact, this plugin seems ineffective now. So am I right in thinking it is no longer required? Thanks James

Well, it depends on you. That particular setting is for the BT App that you're building. So, *if* the user has location services turned on, and *if* the user accepts the agreement/prompt, then the 'allow GPS' plugin (which really isnt a plugin so much as a setting) can turn on/off GPS capability in *your app* only. The reality is, that my apps depend on GPS in order to operate correctly, and if a user declines GPS/Location updates then my apps won't work well. I always include this setting to allow the user to turn on/off GPS updates for the app although they shouldn't turn it off if they want things to work. The point from Apple being, users need 'the option' to do things. So drop it in, and let it be. Cheers! -- Smug

Thanks Smug. The thing is, I'm not sure it even works in recent iOS releases. It doesn't seem to affect the Location Services setting for the app (i.e. Always/When Using/Never) and doesn't appear to prevent GPS functioning in the app. No need to reply, just wanted to mention it in case it changes your approach. Cheers James
