[Interest] Qt Positioning on iOS?

[Israel Brewster]

Ok, clearing everything and trying again seems to have worked. Guess something got stuck somewhere along the line. I still have to test if geofencing will work with the app in the background though. Thanks!

>> Simple question: how do I get Qt Positioning (C++) to work on iOS (current versions of everything)? I tried the code on the Qt Positioning page, and apparently the various createDefaultSource() calls all worked (I tried both QGeoPositionInfoSource and QGeoAreaMonitorSource), in that they returned non-zero pointers, but from what I can tell nothing happens after calling startUpdates(), requestUpdate(), or startMonitoring(), as appropriate for the source in question - no callbacks are ever called, including the error callback. Checking the result of error() on the source after I create it returns 3, which appears to be NoError. So there is no error, but I never seem to get any data either.

Some googling finds an old thread on the subject, that refers to several keys in the Info.plist, but I tried adding those keys (and deleting the app from the phone/re-installing), and that didn’t seem to make any difference. What am I missing?
