NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription required for unknown reasons

I have kept the description in my app filled since when the option was available in Player Settings just to silence any warnings.

But because I know I don't use location, I write it like this:

We currently do not use location in this app. If you see this, something is wrong.

I recommend you all do the same.

 

2018.4.15f also face this issue

And even add the NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription string into info.plist could not avoid the warning email

edited : Oh wait, after seeing above comment I just know that there is new setting textbox for usage description from unity itself. I will try set that instead of directly edit info.plist in my postbuildprocessor first

 

Normally I got warning for both `NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription` and `NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription`

After I set the configuration as @Neonlyte suggest, I still got warning message but it decreased to only `NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription`

 

OK I have totally fix it by manually add UsageDescription in [PostProcessBuild]

I think it because I use minimum ios SDK as 9.0 so it still require `NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription`. But unity config only set `NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription` for me

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using UnityEditor;
4. using UnityEditor.Callbacks;
5.  
6. using UnityEditor.iOS.Xcode;
7.  
8. using System.Linq;
9.  
10. public class PostBuildProcessor
11. {
12.     [PostProcessBuild(101)]
13.     private static void ProcessPostBuildIOS(BuildTarget buildTarget, string path)
14.     {
15.         if(buildTarget != BuildTarget.iOS)
16.             return;
17.  
18.         Debug.Log ("ProcessPostBuildIOS");
19.  
20.         // Get plist
21.         string plistPath = path + "/Info.plist";
22.         var plist = new PlistDocument();
23.         plist.ReadFromFile(plistPath);
24.  
25.         // Get root
26.         var rootDict = plist.root;
27.  
28.         rootDict.SetString("NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription","***Any reason you like***");
29.  
30.         plist.WriteToFile(plistPath);
31.     }
32. }
33.  

 

I don't believe Unity itself has any feature for background location access i.e. LocationAlwaysUsage.
I would check if there is any plugin that is using location APIs.

 

I got the issue which was NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription too. They want us to add some text descriptor in the info.plist file.
I would be surprised the problem would be so easily solved but it should actually be possible to have this covered from within Unity, like you did, write stuff in those lines and it will automatically be pushed into the build. Will try this.
Mind you, the ipa went through as far as TestFlight is concerned.

 

Is there a better solution for this since in our app we dont need the location...
