Fixing Geo Location Permissions in iOS8

In iOS8, Apple has changed how geo location permissions work. This gist outlines an approach to fix this so Geo will continue to work in iOS8.

Before getting started with the code change, we need to update the tiapp.xml with a few keys.

If you wish to have Geo always run, you need to add the below key. The key NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription is used when requesting permission to use location services whenever the app is running. To enable this, add the below to the tiapp.xml:

NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription Reason that appears in the authorization prompt

/**
 * @method slideIn
 * Makes the specified view appear using a "slide-in" animation, it will automatically
 * detect where the view is offscreen and bring it into the user's vison.
 * @param {Titanium.UI.View} view View to animate.
 * @param {Number} duration Fade duration in milliseconds.
 * @param {function()} [finishCallback] Callback function, invoked after the popIn completes.
 */
exports.slideIn = function (view, duration, finishCallback) {

Repetitive taps

I needed the right event to react on many repetitive taps. I noticed that click stops firing after some taps, so I did a little test to find the right event to listen to instead.

As the console.log shows, you need singletap ;)

If you want to your CommonJS modules to work in both Alloy and plain Titanium projects, you might need a way to detect if you're in Alloy. For instance, if you're in Alloy you would get Underscore from the alloy-module, while in plain Titanium you would require Underscore directly.

Well, you can:

var _ = require((typeof ENV_TEST === 'boolean') ? 'alloy' : 'underscore')._;

The above works by utilizing Alloy's optimization process. In this process, constants like ENV_TEST will be either TRUE or FALSE. The actual expressions in wich they are used will then be evaluated. If FALSE the code block will be removed. In plain Titanium projects the constants are undefined and this typeof ENV_TEST will be undefined, so the code block will be executed.
