Enabling Geolocation

Hey,

When I try to use the Geolocation, I get:

message: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'RCTLocationObserver.getCurrentPosition')"

It seems that require('NativeModules').LocationObserver returns undefined in Geolocation.ios.js
I did add this to my info.plist:

    <key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
    <string>You need to add NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription key in Info.plist to enable geolocation, otherwise it is going to *fail silently*!</string>

Am I missing something ?

Thanks!
J

@a2

This is a bug on our end, the native module must not have been linked to the xcode project. @a2 can you help?

Is this in an example project or in an app you're working on?

Ah ok! I was trying this from the Movies app. How can I help ?

I'll take a look now! 😺

Oh, I see what you mean. Here's what you have to do:

Drag RCTGeolocation.xcodeproj into the Libraries folder.
Click on the Movies project in the project navigator.
Click Movies under TARGETS.
Click the Build Phases tab.
In the Link Binary With Libraries phase, click the plus icon and select libRCTGeolocation.a from the modal list that appears.

That should be all you need. Let me know if that works for you. 😸

AWESOME!

I didn't realized I had to link libs manually. I don't think it's in the docs. If no one is working on it to the docs, I'm happy to add it this weekend :)

Let me know!

What about when developing for Android on Windows?

If you are working with Cocoapods, adding RCTGeolocation to the Podfile and then running pod install again should do the trick.

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
pod 'React', :path => '../node_modules/react-native', :subspecs => [
  'Core',
  'RCTGeolocation',
  'RCTImage',
  'RCTNetwork',
  'RCTText',
  'RCTWebSocket'
]

Why was there is no mention of any of this on https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/geolocation.html ? :(

@naoisegolden I also got this error and i'm using pod too, but i can't fix this bug with the method you reminded. When I use pod search RCTGeolocation to search it, nothing can be find in the repos. Could you do me a favor to analyze about it? Thank you very much!

@a2

@a2 is there a solution for Xcode 7.3.1? I was able to follow until selecting the library. I don't have libRCTGeolocation.a available.
