    I rebuild my app on newest version Unity (4.3.1) and on splashscreen i have a system message "Can this application use your location?" and in MainPage.xaml.cs has been void SetupGeolocator().

    It really need? In previous version (build in unity 4.2) this was not.

    In your Package.appxmanifest file, under Capabilities, do you have "Location" checked?

    The option is there, but if builds Unity 4.2, then no this system message.

    This is in comformance with Microsoft requirements. Application must ask user consent before using location.
    If you use location serveces in your game, that message must be shown to user (you can however reprogram it, the code is in generated solution).

    This did not happen in 4.2, because there were no support for location services yet.
