Local Favs on OS 4.0

[Gini-Apps]

Hi I've recently downloaded Skyhook Local Faves and followed the guide
how to install it on my iPhone App (Poker Radar).

After i've finished with all the steps, I still have 25 warnings on
skyhook code (mostly 'deprecated' warnings),
never the less I can't get the location services to work on the
simulator (I have iMac and I'm using AirPort).

I also tried to run the "cocktails" example that came with the
installation, I get the same problems (warnings and location).

can you please help?

Thanks,

Shay (gini-apps.com).

Hi Shay,

Most of the warnings are coming from third-party libraries that Local
Faves uses, such as FBConnect. These libraries have actively decided
to live with the warnings in order to maintain support for older
versions of the iPhone OS.

Can you elaborate a bit on what you mean by not being able to get
location services to work?

Thanks,

George

Hi George,

Thanks for the quick response,
My Problem with the location is that after I've upgraded to sdk 4.0, I
can't get location services to work on my simulator...(I tried to test
the 'cocktails' on the simulator, but no location..)
I've heard that Apple changed CLLocation to bring the location from
wifi, but I have AirPort open ..everything is working but the location
services... not sure if you are the address for this problem..

Thanks anyway,
Shay.

Thank you for following up - when I go into general services on my iPod Touch the Location Services is gray and won't let me toggle it on?? Everything else is active in General Services.
Thanks --Kevin

Hi Shay,

Is your wifi turned on? iOS 4.0 does return the location from your
wifi card - if it's not on than it will never give anything back.

Hmm, strange. I'm assuming you have WiFi enabled right? (You don't
have to be connected to any network, just have the card enabled.)

Yes, my wifi is turned on.
Maybe there is a problem getting a location Data from Israel via wifi?

Hi Shay,

Yes, that would be the issue. Given that there is no wifi coverage in
Israel, your Macbook will not be able to acquire a location, and hence
return nothing to XCode. As far as I'm aware, there's no way to force
the 3.2 simulator to fake a location like in previous versions - you
will have to run the location components of your app on the device
which has access to the GPS.

Another option is to run iSimulate on your actual device which can
then pass the GPS location to the simulator - at least according to
the FAQ: http://www.vimov.com/isimulate/faq/

I was afraid that would be the answer..

Thank you so much George!

I will send email to steve.. maybe he will reverse it to the way it was..

Shay.
