com.apple.springboard requesting location?

[nerdriot]

After updating to 9.3 PB1 and resetting all settings, I noticed this in my location settings for com.apple.springboard. Any idea what this is about? TIA, guys.

Never seen that before and not present on my iPhone 6 running 9.3 beta 1.

That's a puzzler.

 

[nerdriot]

It really is confusing. I'm not sure what else to do other than use Feedback and send a screenshot of it. But even that won't solve the mystery of why it's there.

It's an app that failed to update or download completely. Go to your App Store updates or to the list of the apps that your in and delete it then re-download it. It's actually been quite common since iOS 9.2.1 beta.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot.

How did this pan out for you, OP?

I just had it show up for me in the official 9.3 release and can't figure out how to get rid of it.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, the only way to remove it for me was to do a factory reset (which I've put off long enough).

Sorry that I can't provide a quicker (and less painful!) solution.

Prost!

 

[s2mike]

Thanks for the info.

I'm wondering what would happen if I were to do a factory reset and then restore from a backup...not sure if that glitch is now embedded in my backup file.

Are you jail broken??

 

[s2mike]

Nope, no jailbreak here.
[doublepost=1458759056][/doublepost]Another question - what exactly would happen if I toggled the main Location Services 'kill switch' to OFF and then back to ON?

I'm too scared to do it right now, but will switching it off and back on restore all of my location-based app settings, or will it all be wiped and I'll be forced to manually open each app and re-grant them access to my location?

 

[monnyblack1]

Oh ok I had this to happen one time when I was jail broken that's why I ask

The individual app permissions will remain there as I recall.

Go to Settings > General > Reset and select "Rest Location & Privacy". That should clear it out.

Thanks!

Ended up doing a clean restore of iOS 9.3 last night for the heck of it, which worked too.

Worked like a charm.
Thank you for the fix !
