I am using location services in my app. Initially the app asks the user to allow finding the current location. If the user says "Don't Allow", can I show one more alert to confirm that choice? Then, if the user says "Allow" in that second dialogue, can the app get the current location?

No you can't, it is managed by the the system.

You can/should check if the user allowing you app to get the current location. Because you can change this in the settings app

Check can be done like this:

if (![CLLocationManager locationServicesEnabled]) {
   // location can not be retrieved.

}

The question is who is showing the second message. If it's CoreLocation that is showing the message than the last answer is the one that counts - so if it was "allow" then you can.

However - if after the "Disallow" you show your own custom message - the answer there has no affect. It must come from CoreLocation

  • CoreLocation will show the message second time if you disallowed it the first time. After the second time the message will not appear again. (only if you remove the app and reinstalled it will the message apear again) – rckoenes Sep 09 '11 at 11:36
