[jira] [Comment Edited] (CB-1603) Compass / Geolocation issue on
iOS 6 (iPhone)
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1603?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13472512#comment-13472512 ]

------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry for the confusion, my target iOS is set to 4.3 (which is the lowest XCode 4.5 supports), not 4.2 as I previously written.
The target iOS is therefore always set to 4.3. This setting does not change.
Then I compile and run the application on an iPhone 4S with iOS 5.1 installed, where everything works as expected.
However, once I run the same application, with the same target (set to 4.3) on an iPhone 5 with iOS 6 installed, I see the compass arrow on the top right-hand side of the status bar. This arrow does not appear on iOS 5.1 and seems to be only an issue with iOS 6, as I have now tried to upgrade my iPhone 4S to iOS6 and now it has the same issue as well.
Also, EnableLocationServices is already set to NO. I did not try to turn it on, as the application does not require any location-wise functionality.

> Compass / Geolocation issue on iOS 6 (iPhone)
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-1603
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1603
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: iOS
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Environment: iPhone 5, iOS 6
> Reporter: Martin Ambrus
> Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: geolocation, location
>
> 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.
