GPS Location in Ipad

[Former Member]

Hi all

i am developing application for SMP3.0 SP8 and for ipad which is having IOS9. I want to find the GPS location of device for which i write the rule attach in the image. I have set the location service on for Agentry application. Some time it shows the correct GP location and some time it not show GPS location even if device is on same place in both times.

Please let me know the reason why it is not showing correctly. Is there any way i can make sure that GPS will work always.

Amitoj,

Hi. There is one recommendation that we may ask you to try. Can you try at least SMP 3.0 SDK SP11 kit's version to see if it works. We have acknowledgement of this issue in SMP 3.0 SDK SP06 and it was fixed for Android. There is a chance that the core code was not implemented in iOS (This is just a speculation). We also know on later versions of the SMP 3.0 SDK that certain LATITUDE and LONGTITUDE in Agentry were fixed as well. But for now, try the latest SDK SP11 version to see if it works in this version for you. Otherwise, the fix that was for Android was not ported to iOS.

Hello Mark,

I tested with wpf client (SDK 11 - not real device) it did not work for me. It works fine in latest iOS client.

Thanks

Ajitesh,

WPF client is tied to Windows. Normally, WPF is tied to a laptop and the device has to have built in GPS sensors for the system to function. Most of the laptops available to be purchased does not have built-in GPS sensors unless you are using a tablet type of laptops (Surface and others).

You mentioned that you did not try the real device. Does your WPF client installed on a laptop have GPS sensors in it?  I thought you were talking about the iOS was not working. Didn't realize you where referring to the WPF client.

There is a release notes tied to SMP 3.0 (or documentation) that states the functionality of GPS sensors. I've seen it before but I need to find or Google the page again (It has a disclaimer about WPF and GPS functionality). It could be under SDK SP9, or SDK SP10 or earlier troubleshooting area of the release notes.

I would suggest putting the Agentry product name in your discussion topic.
