Location Services Fail Silently in iOS 8 and XCode 6

Starting in iOS 8 in the XCode 6 SDK, background location tracking via requestAlwaysAuthorization and foreground location fetching requestWhenInUseAuthorization calls with CLLocationManager needs to be first before any location updates can be made.

For code that works in iOS 7 and XCode 5 without error, the new XCode 6 and iOS 8 will give no alerts, errors, warnings, or log messages if you don’t supply the following _CRITICAL_ Info.plist entry, NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription or NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription with a alert message displayed to the user on the API call.

<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>Location Usage</string>

<key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
<string>Allow Location Now?</string>
