Location Services not working in iOS 8

I was pulling my hair out with the same problem. Xcode gives you the error:

> Trying to start `MapKit` location updates without prompting for
> location authorization. Must call `-[CLLocationManager
> requestWhenInUseAuthorization]` or `-[CLLocationManager
> requestAlwaysAuthorization]` first.

But even if you implement one of the above methods, it won't prompt the user unless there is an entry in the info.plist for `NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription` or `NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription`.

Add the following lines to your info.plist where the string values represent the reason you you need to access the users location

<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>This application requires location services to work</string>

<key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
<string>This application requires location services to work</string>

I think these entries may have been missing since I started this project in Xcode 5. I'm guessing Xcode 6 might add default entries for these keys but have not confirmed.

You can find more information on these two Settings [here][1]
