Position retrieval times out in ios app
See original GitHub issueI’m trying to run the Reactive geolocation example.
When i do: meteor run ios , then
In the simulator The map shows up correctly for about 8 seconds and then it goes away and I see the message:
Geolocation failed: Position retrieval timed out.
Is this a bug ? or is there a way around this. Everything works fine on the desktop browser.

I’ve figured out the solution to this problem. Go to the info.plist file for your app in Xcode and add two entries:
NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription
The values can be any strings you want to display to the user for why he should allow geolocation for your app. Rebuild and deploy.
