Martin Ambrus updated CB-1603:
------------------------------

    Comment: was deleted

(was: Just to be on the safe side - the problem is not with iOS version that's selected as a target. The problem is with iOS 6 displaying compass arrow even though no locality-related plugins are even present in the Cordova.plist (and EnableLocationServices is NO as well).)

> Applications targeted for iPhone (iOS 4.2+) using Cordova 2.0 and developed in XCode 4.5 automatically turn on Compass / Geolocation. User is never asked if they want to reveal their location to the app, so it's probably the Compass plugin kicking in.
> What we see is the compass arrow on the right-hand top side of iPhone screen (status bar). When the application closes, arrow disappears.
> This is an issue for us, as it drains considerably more battery than version running on iOS 5.1, where this problem does not exist.
> We have tried to remove all - Location, Compass and GeoLocation plugins from the Cordova.plist to no avail.
