LocationManager

public class LocationManager : NSObject, ObservableObject, @unchecked Sendable

extension LocationManager: @preconcurrency CLLocationManagerDelegate

LocationManager is responsible for requesting authorization, managing, and collecting device location information.

This class provides a modern, async/await interface for location services built on top of CoreLocation. It handles authorization requests, caching, error handling, and provides both throwing and non-throwing interfaces for different use cases.

Features

• Async/Await Interface: Modern Swift concurrency support
• Automatic Authorization: Handles permission requests transparently
• Location Caching: Reduces battery usage with intelligent caching
• Error Handling: Comprehensive error reporting and recovery
• Privacy Compliance: Respects system privacy settings and user choices

Usage Example

do {
    let location = try await LocationManager.shared.requestLocation()
    print("Current location: \(location?.coordinate)")
} catch {
    print("Location failed: \(error)")
}

Privacy Requirements

Your app’s Info.plist must include appropriate usage descriptions:

• NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription for basic location access
• NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription for background location access
