How do you determine with CLLocationManager when a user denies access to location services?
- by Brennan
With CLLocationManager I can use the following code to determine if I can access location services on the device. This is the master setting for all apps and can be turned on and off.
if (self.locationManager.locationServicesEnabled) {
[self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}
But a user can deny access to an individual app and in order to not execute the code to use the location manager I need to know if the user approved access to location services for this specific app. I saw that at one point there was a property called locationServicesApproved which appears it would indicate if the user approved access to location services in this app. But it was removed in 2008.

It appears that there is no way to determine if the user approved access to location services but that seems to be a big hole in the SDK.
Is this feature in the SDK elsewhere? What can I do to determine if the user has approved access to location services for the current app?
