Location permission alert on iPhone with PhoneGap
How do you change the string on the alert saying:
(Appname/whatever it is) would like to use your current location
Of course, I only want to change the appname part. Because when you use the PhoneGap framework, the string is very ugly, something like this:
/var/mobile/Applications/157EB70D-4AA7-826E-690F0CBE0F/appname.app/www/index.html
Someone having an idea?
You need to do the geolocation after the device is ready. The following Jquery code, for example, will geolocate without that nasty alert:
$(function(){
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
})
function onDeviceReady() {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onSuccess, onError);
}
function onSuccess(position) {
// your callback here
}
function onError(error) {
// your callback here
}
On phonegap 3.0 the answer by Pius Uzamere needs to be followed AND the plugin installed.
cordova plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-geolocation.git
otherwise you will get the double permission request.
