To get the GPS location in your app, you can use the CoreLocation framework provided by Apple. Here are the steps to do this, as discussed in the session What’s new in location authorization:

  1. Request Authorization: Before accessing the device's location, you need to request authorization from the user. This can be done using the CLLocationManager and methods like requestWhenInUseAuthorization.

  2. Use CoreLocation API: Utilize the CoreLocation API objects such as CLLocationUpdate and CLMonitor. These objects provide an async sequence interface to get latitude and longitude updates whenever the device moves or state change events occur.

  3. Handle Authorization States: Understand the different authorization states (e.g., not determined, when in use, always, denied) and handle them appropriately in your app. You can use the CLServiceSession to manage these states declaratively.

  4. Diagnostic Properties: Use diagnostic properties to get a complete contextual understanding of the current authorization and the function of any other CoreLocation API objects. This helps in handling cases where location updates or events cannot be yielded due to various reasons.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the chapter markers in the session:
