JFELocationManager

It's a CoreLocation wrapper (singleton) to allow an internal use overall your application.

Call [JFELocationManager sharedInstance]; in your AppDelegate file or somewhere else to initiate the singleton and automatically starting to update location and heading

What about iOS 8 ?

JFELocationManager is now ready for iOS 8. To enable the library you have to add a new entry in you Info.plist file.

NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription = "The message to be shown";

Usage

Set a controller as

@interface JFEViewController : UIViewController<JFELocationManagerDelegate>

Then you can implement each (or one) of these delegate methods:

-(void) didUpdateHeading:(CLHeading *)newHeading;
-(void) didUpdateLocation:(CLLocation*) location;
-(void) didChangeAuthorizationStatus:(CLAuthorizationStatus)status;

To allow background updates you have to define those methods in your appdelegate file

- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application
{
    // ... Do something else ...
    // Force to disable the location update only if there is no "important delegate"
    if ([JFELocationManager sharedInstance].importantDelegate == nil) {
        NSLog(@"AppDelegate -> I disable updating location");
        [[JFELocationManager sharedInstance] stop];
    }

}

- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application
{
    // ... Do something else ...
    if ([JFELocationManager sharedInstance].importantDelegate == nil) {
        [[JFELocationManager sharedInstance] start];
        NSLog(@"AppDelegate -> I enable updating location");
    }
}

Requirements

iOS 6.0 and later.

Usage

Add JFELocationManager.h/m into your project, or pod 'JFELocationManager' using CocoaPods.
