             Summary: cordova-plugin-geolocation should reverse permissions request in ios8
                 Key: CB-8826
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8826
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: iOS, Plugin Geolocation
    Affects Versions: 3.4.0
            Reporter: Jason Peterson
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: Master


I would like to suggest a change to how the geolocation plugin requests
permissions in iOS8.  In the event that both iOS8 NSLocation usage
permissions exist, I suggest that we first request the least permissive one
(NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription).

This should amount to simply reversing the logic in CDVLocation.m:

{code}
if([[NSBundle mainBundle]
objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription"])
{
            [self.locationManager  requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
} else if([[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@
"NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription"]) {
            [self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
}
{code}

I have a use case where an app launches with both descriptions set, but
depending on client configuration the "AlwaysInUse" permission may not be necessary.  As the logic is written now, the plugin will always request that one, which could look a bit extreme to the end user.
