Didupdatelocations Instead of Didupdatetolocation

didUpdateLocations instead of didUpdateToLocation

I asume you used the following delegate to get the last position?

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager 
    didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation 
           fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation

The delegate above is deprecated in iOS 6. Now the following should be used:

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager 
     didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations

In order to get the last position, simply get the last object of the array:

[locations lastObject]

In other words, [locations lastObject] (new delegate) equals newLocation (old delegate) .

CLLocationManager didUpdateLocations or didUpdateToLocation

I am also faced the same issue in my old project, So I tried the following method, then working fine for me

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager 
    didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation 
           fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation

The delegate above is deprecated in iOS 6. Now the following should be used:

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager 
     didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations

In order to get the last position, simply get the last object of the array:

[locations lastObject]

In other words, [locations lastObject] (new delegate) equals newLocation (old delegate)

example

iOS6 and above

-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations {
CLLocation *newLocation = [locations lastObject];
CLLocation *oldLocation;
if (locations.count >= 2) {
    oldLocation = [locations objectAtIndex:locations.count-1];
} else {
    oldLocation = nil;
}
NSLog(@"didUpdateToLocation %@ from %@", newLocation, oldLocation);

}

if you use in iOS6 and below add the following method also

 - (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation {
[self locationManager:locationManager didUpdateLocations:[[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:newLocation, nil]];
}

didUpdateLocations gets called, but sends wrong location

I figured it out, thanks to the comments below other answers..

I was waiting too short before calling the [locationManager stopUpdatingLocation]; method. The GPS just needed some more time..

So i just waited before doing the stopUpdatingLocation with an NSTimer. That did the job. Thanks to gWiz!

Get location about didUpdateLocations and didUpdateToLocation never call on ios 5.1 and ios6

You do not have to import the CLLocationManagerDelegate in your .h and AFAIK I think CoreLocation is not using Google Maps as well, so unless you are using the Google Maps API or something there should be no need to import the GoogleMaps as well.

Try using this instead in your method:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    if( _locationManager == nil )
    {
       _locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
       _locationManager.delegate = self;
       _locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;

       [_locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
    }
}

edit:

I realised that you are trying to get the difference in the distance. So maybe just change your

_locationManager = [CLLocationManager new];

to

_locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];

and that should solve the problem.

Following your comment, I have checked a little more, and realised that you are using the startUpdatingHeading method call, therefore you should be using the didUpdateHeading delegate methods. This is from the Apple CLLocationManager reference:

Heading events are delivered to the locationManager:didUpdateHeading: method of your delegate. If there is an error, the location manager calls the locationManager:didFailWithError: method of your delegate instead.

Hope this helps! :)

didUpdateLocations never called

where do you start the location update ? for example:

//location manager
    lazy var locationManager: CLLocationManager = {
        var _locationManager = CLLocationManager()
        _locationManager.delegate = self
        _locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters
        _locationManager.activityType = . automotiveNavigation
        _locationManager.distanceFilter = 10.0  // Movement threshold for new events
        _locationManager.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = true // allow in background

        return _locationManager
    }()

    if CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled() {
                locationManager.startUpdatingLocation() // start location manager

            }

here is a working conroller code:
also important to to set up Custom iOS Target Properties.

Add these two lines to the Info.plist:

NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription

NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription

//
//  ViewController.swift
//  LocationTest2

import UIKit
import CoreLocation

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    //location manager
    lazy var locationManager: CLLocationManager = {
        var _locationManager = CLLocationManager()
        _locationManager.delegate = self
        _locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters
        _locationManager.activityType = . automotiveNavigation
        _locationManager.distanceFilter = 10.0  // Movement threshold for new events
      //  _locationManager.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = true // allow in background

        return _locationManager
    }()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
    }

    override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(animated)

        //allow location use
        locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()

        print("did load")
        print(locationManager)

        //get current user location for startup
       // if CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled() {
            locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
       // }
    }
}

// MARK: - CLLocationManagerDelegate
extension ViewController: CLLocationManagerDelegate {

    func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {

        for location in locations {

            print("**********************")
            print("Long \(location.coordinate.longitude)")
            print("Lati \(location.coordinate.latitude)")
            print("Alt \(location.altitude)")
            print("Sped \(location.speed)")
            print("Accu \(location.horizontalAccuracy)")

            print("**********************")

        }
    }

}

didUpdateLocations delegate method not call in iOS 5.1 and earlier

didUpdateLocations: did not exist in ios 5 or earlier. If you want to support those ios version then just use the deprecated didUpdateToLocation:fromLocation. Even though it is deprecated it still works in ios 6 and 7. That's the simplest solution.

You could have delegate methods for both, but that gets more complicated to manage. If you don't need to build track logs in the background then you don't really need didUpdateLocations: it was created to save battery power while collecting multiple points when running in the background.
