Description

For a new training app I did:

			Ti.Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(e) {

				console.debug('LOCATION: ' + JSON.stringify(e));

				if (!e.success) {
					return showError(e.error || 'Could not find your location');
				}

				getWeather(e.coords);
			});

And of course in {tiapp.xml}}:

		<key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
                <string>Get the weather for your location.</string>

But the response in Simulator was:

{
	"success": true,
	"code": 0,
	"source": {},
	"type": "location",
	"error": "The operation couldn’t be completed. (kCLErrorDomain error 0.)"
}

I expected to get coords of course, but in case of an error at least success:false instead of true. *NOTE:* The [documentartion](https://appcelerator.github.io/appc-docs/latest/#!/api/LocationResults) only lists coords and provider (Android) and not success and error.

[~otto.pic] what is the content of getCurrentPosition()? Is it just Ti.Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(callback) or a you subscribing to the location event?

   function getCurrentPosition() {
   		Ti.Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(e){
   				
   				if(e.coords){
   				
   					getData({lat: e.coords.latitude, lng: e.coords.longitude});
   				
   				}else{
   					ui.alertError();
   				}
   				
   		});
   	}

Did you receive a location before? If you don't have a location you'll receive NULL. When I had a location outside my app (with a GPS test tool) getCurrentPosition() returns my last location. For moving coordingats Ti.Geolocation.addEventListener('location', location); of course.

I have found the problem but I haven't solution. If I install the app with wifi enabled and data and gps disabled there isn't way to get location enabling data and gps too. If I install the app with data and gps enabled all work fine. I don't understand very well what's append, but how can I get location from the best source wifi, data or gps?
