Enable location

Location is one of the risk parameters that can be sent to the server. In order to enable collection of location by the Encap SDK, you must:

• In your application configuration, check that ENABLED_RISK_DATA is set to ALL, or that it contains Location.

Location data

The location data will be included in all requests to the server. The following values are collected:

• latitude
• longitude
• accuracy
• altitude

Add usage description

Set a value forNSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription in the app's Info.plist. This is the message that will be presented to the end-user the first time the EncapAPI starts looking for a location.

When location is enabled, the location manager is not started until one of the start calls has been invoked. The location manager is disabled as soon as the finish call is done.

The location manager remains disabled until the next start call is invoked.

Accuracy

You can use EncapConfig setLocationAccuracy to set the desired accuracy. The default value is kCLLocationAccuracyHundredMeters.
