I tested my device (iPod Touch 2G iOS 4.1) if location services are enabled
permitted = [locationManager locationServicesEnabled];
and I always get a YES whether location services are enabled or not. I'm talking about the general button for location services and not the app specific button. On iPad with iOS 3.2.2 everything is working fine.
Swift 3.1 function returns -> status:Bool and message:String
func isLocationEnabled() -> (status: Bool, message: String) {
if CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled() {
switch(CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus()) {
case .restricted, .denied:
return (false,"No access")
case .authorizedAlways, .authorizedWhenInUse:
return(true,"Access")
}
} else {
return(false,"Turn On Location Services to Allow App to Determine Your Location")
}
}
