Hi
I am new to both ruby and rhodes. I have been using Geo Location API in my app which works fine on iOS7.But when i build the app for iOS8 using Xcode 6 and rhodes4.1.1 I always get the positioning co-ordinates as 0 from the API itself.
is there any workaround for this so that the API works.
I tried building the app with 5.0.2 but i get an error as given below :
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv7
==================== ERROR! ====================
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
** BUILD FAILED **
The following build commands failed:
Ld build/Release-iphoneos/rhorunner.app/rhorunner normal armv7
(1 failure)
cd /Users/varalakshmip/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p547/gems/rhodes-5.0.2
************************************
ERROR during building by XCode !
XCode return next error code = pid 95524 exit 65
which i could not understand
Any help is appreciated in regards to make the GEo Location API work on iOS8???
Thanks

Hi Siddhant,
Your post was earlier in the month, so you may have found a work around already.
GeoLocation API needs some changes to work with IOS 8.0. This post I found online explains the changes to the LocationManager in IOS 8.x SDK quite well is http://nevan.net/2014/09/core-location-manager-changes-in-ios-8/
Workaround that we are using for now is, updating the initLocationManger method in /Classes/GeoLocation/LocationController.m as below:
- (void) initLocationManager:(NSObject*)param {
self._locationManager = [[[CLLocationManager alloc] init] autorelease];
self._locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
self._locationManager.delegate = self; // Tells the location manager to send updates to this object
// Workaround for IOS 8 SDK LocationManager changes
if ([self._locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestAlwaysAuthorization)]) {
[self._locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
}
}
and updating Info.plist file with string values for NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription and NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription.
A formal fix would be ideal, but I haven't seen if something like this has made into Rhodes GIT repo or Rho 5.x
Would be great to hear if there are any other solutions / workarounds for this.
Hi Siddhant
I see already shared his experience about building Rhodes app for iOS8 at https://developer.motorolasolutions.com/message/81609#81609
Was that helpful to you ?
Thank you.

Hi,
Please post full console output for "rake run:iphone --trace" or full build log from XCode.
If you use XCode project generated in 4.0, you should regenerate it by 5.0 (remove app_folder/project/iphone and regenerate by "rake build:iphone:setup_xcode_project")
