iOS 14 Reduced Accuracy

[Daniel-Nielsen]

I have been running Indoor Atlas example app under iOS 14 with the new "Reduced Accuracy" turned on.

I am aware that the positioning engine would have a hard time calculating an accurate position in this case, but I still expect to see an inaccurate position from the Indoor Atlas SDK. This is not the case, I don't get any location updates.

Are there any plans of a graceful support for the Reduced Accuracy Scenario?

Best Regards,
Daniel

IndoorAtlas for iOS can't work well with precise location turned off, as this also disables iBeacon scanning. The only way you could get a location would be through bluetooth scanning and eddystone beacons. We plan to have a update for iOS 14 that will ask user to turn on precise location whenever location updates are requested from the SDK though. (Optional feature that can be enabled through a plist info key)

Understood, thanks for the swift reply. Do you know about the timeline for the iOS 14 update?

No schedule for it yet. You can currently implement this feature yourself using the following apis:

The current SDK will work under iOS 14 as is.
