Request location with precise off as default

Question

My app doesn't need precise location, just a city is sufficient for it. When I request location authorization, how can I make Precise: Off by default?

I tried settings the design accuracy for CLLocationManager to kCLLocationAccuracyReduced, but it still asks with Precise: On by default. Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

You need to specify the key NSLocationDefaultAccuracyReduced with a value of true in your info.plist file. When you do this the user is prompted for their approximate location and no precise on/off pill is shown.

Note that this key shows as Privacy - Location Default Accuracy Reduced in Xcode's Plist editor
