LocationServicesEnabled: Deprecated APIs

Question

I am using the code here :

import UIKit import CoreLocation @UIApplicationMain class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, CLLocationManagerDelegate { var window: UIWindow? var locationManager: CLLocationManager! var seenError : Bool = false var locationFixAchieved : Bool = false var locationStatus : NSString = "Not Started" func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: NSDictionary?) -> Bool { initLocationManager(); return true } // Location Manager helper stuff func initLocationManager() { seenError = false locationFixAchieved = false locationManager = CLLocationManager() locationManager.delegate = self locationManager.locationServicesEnabled locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization() } // Location Manager Delegate stuff func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!, didFailWithError error: NSError!) { locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation() if (error) { if (seenError == false) { seenError = true print(error) } } } func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!, didUpdateLocations locations: AnyObject[]!) { if (locationFixAchieved == false) { locationFixAchieved = true var locationArray = locations as NSArray var locationObj = locationArray.lastObject as CLLocation var coord = locationObj.coordinate println(coord.latitude) println(coord.longitude) } } func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!, didChangeAuthorizationStatus status: CLAuthorizationStatus) { var shouldIAllow = false switch status { case CLAuthorizationStatus.Restricted: locationStatus = "Restricted Access to location" case CLAuthorizationStatus.Denied: locationStatus = "User denied access to location" case CLAuthorizationStatus.NotDetermined: locationStatus = "Status not determined" default: locationStatus = "Allowed to location Access" shouldIAllow = true } NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName("LabelHasbeenUpdated", object: nil) if (shouldIAllow == true) { NSLog("Location to Allowed") // Start location services locationManager.startUpdatingLocation() } else { NSLog("Denied access: \(locationStatus)") } } } 

But I have an error: "locationServicesEnabled" is not available: APIs deprecated from iOS 7 and earlier are not available in Swift .

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The locationServicesEnabled property in the CLLocationManager instance has CLLocationManager deprecated since iOS 4.0, but the class method is not.

So, instead of:

 locationManager.locationServicesEnabled 

Instead, you should simply use the following:

 CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled()
