ios - Is it possible to fetch GPS location ios8 directly from appDelegate -

i working on app in ios8+ in have fetch location of user. able fetch location when use cllocationmanager in screen (viewcontroller). when try fetch location appdelegate directly, there seems problem , not getting location (the flow not entering delegate methods). can me this.

this code used :

cllocationmanager *locationmanager = [[cllocationmanager alloc] init]; locationmanager.delegate = self; locationmanager.desiredaccuracy = kcllocationaccuracybest; if ([locationmanager respondstoselector:@selector(requestwheninuseauthorization)]) {     [locationmanager requestwheninuseauthorization]; } if ([locationmanager respondstoselector:@selector(requestalwaysauthorization)]) {     [locationmanager requestalwaysauthorization]; } [locationmanager startupdatinglocation]; 

can me this. thanks

1. add cllocationmanagerdelegate appdelegate.h

@interface appdelegate : nsobject < uiapplicationdelegate, cllocationmanagerdelegate> {

2. add cllocationmanager object property appdelegate.m

you have implement cllocationmanager object property.

@interface appdelegate () @property (nonatomic, strong) cllocationmanager *locationmanager; @end

3. replace locationmanager self.locationmanager in appdelegate.m

- (bool)application:(uiapplication *)application didfinishlaunchingwithoptions:(nsdictionary *)launchoptions { self.locationmanager = [[cllocationmanager alloc] init]; self.locationmanager.delegate = self; self.locationmanager.desiredaccuracy = kcllocationaccuracybest; if ([self.locationmanager respondstoselector:@selector(requestwheninuseauthorization)]) { [self.locationmanager requestwheninuseauthorization]; } if ([self.locationmanager respondstoselector:@selector(requestalwaysauthorization)]) { [self.locationmanager requestalwaysauthorization]; } [self.locationmanager startupdatinglocation];

ref. https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/corelocation/reference/cllocationmanager_class/

keeping strong reference location manager object required until tasks involving object complete. because location manager tasks run asynchronously, storing location manager in local variable insufficient.
