objective c - Cannot get the my location dot for Google Maps iOS SDK -

currently, not able location in app developing.

basically, in documentation google maps ios sdk, google mentions can:

enable blue "my location" dot , compass direction setting mylocationenabled on gmsmapview https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/map#my_location

however, when that, dot not appear in view.

here's setup, have view controller contains view. view contains 3 things, 2 buttons , map view:

i have linked mapview gmsmapview , can see map without problems.

now, want, located.

i tried 2 things. first, using custom, draft button (the information), tried manually set location mapview wasn't working though locationservicesenabled method returned yes.

then, tried using googlemaps's dot isn't working either.

here's code:

studydisplayviewcontroller.h:

#import <uikit/uikit.h> #import <corelocation/corelocation.h> #import "googlemaps/googlemaps.h"   @interface studydisplayviewcontroller : uiviewcontroller <cllocationmanagerdelegate> {  }  @property (strong, readwrite) cllocationmanager *locationmanager; @property (weak, nonatomic) iboutlet gmsmapview *mapview;  @end 

studydisplayviewcontroller.m

#import "studydisplayviewcontroller.h"  @interface studydisplayviewcontroller () - (ibaction)closestudydisplay:(id)sender; - (ibaction)locateme:(id)sender;  @end  @implementation studydisplayviewcontroller  - (void)viewdidload {     [super viewdidload];     // additional setup after loading view.     self.locationmanager = [[cllocationmanager alloc] init];     self.locationmanager.delegate = self;     self.locationmanager.distancefilter = kcldistancefilternone;     self.locationmanager.desiredaccuracy = kcllocationaccuracybest;      if([cllocationmanager authorizationstatus] == kclauthorizationstatusnotdetermined) {         nslog(@"starting location service");         [self.locationmanager requestwheninuseauthorization];         [self.locationmanager startmonitoringsignificantlocationchanges];         if([cllocationmanager locationservicesenabled]) {             nslog(@"all good");         }         else {             nslog(@"damn son");         }     }      self.mapview.settings.compassbutton = yes;             self.mapview.mylocationenabled = yes;     }  - (void)didreceivememorywarning {     [super didreceivememorywarning];     // dispose of resources can recreated. }  - (void) locationmanager:(cllocationmanager *)manager didchangeauthorizationstatus:(clauthorizationstatus)status {  }  -(void) locationmanager:(cllocationmanager *)manager didupdatelocations:(nsarray *)locations {     nslog(@"getting location"); }   /* #pragma mark - navigation  // in storyboard-based application, want little preparation before navigation - (void)prepareforsegue:(uistoryboardsegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {     // new view controller using [segue destinationviewcontroller].     // pass selected object new view controller. } */  - (ibaction)closestudydisplay:(id)sender {     [self dismissviewcontrolleranimated:yes completion:nil]; }  - (ibaction)locateme:(id)sender {      nslog(@"user's location: %@", self.mapview.mylocation);  } 

i using xcode 6.3.2 , ios 8.3.

first check out following things there or not.

    locationmanager = [[cllocationmanager alloc]init];     locationmanager.delegate= self;     if([locationmanager respondstoselector:@selector(requestwheninuseauthorization)]){         [locationmanager requestwheninuseauthorization];     }     [locationmanager startupdatinglocation];      _mapview.mylocationenabled =  yes;     _mapview.settings.mylocationbutton =  yes; 

if there , if testing on simulator try change location in simulator debug tab, e.g. change free car run of of them.

also, check if have added description in plist nslocationwheninuseusagedescription.
