UseCurrentLocation not working from home screen launch mode

[Carlos.D]

Hi,

ST : 2.1
Test on : iOS 6

When the user launch the app from the home screen icon. The setUseCurrentLocation() is not working anymore.

The same piece of code is working on browser.

Ext.define('App.view.MyMap', {
    extend: 'Ext.Panel',
...
items :[
{
//*** bouton "user position"
		    docked :'top', items :[
                    {
			xtype : 'button',
			iconCls :'locate',
			iconMask : true,
			handler: function() {
                           Ext.getCmp('mymap').setUseCurrentLocation(true);
			}
		  }
                   ],

//*** map


{
		    xtype:'map',
		    id:'mymap',
		    useCurrentLocation :false
}
]
...

There is an Apple bug that GeoLocation does not work when you launch from the homescreen. This is something we will not be able to overcome, Apple has to fix it.

Did you (the team) report the bug to Apple ? How can we open such case ?

At the moment, launching any sencha touch app using the latest ST framework does not work full screen so this answer is disingenuous at best. blanket statements such as this are why I increasingly doubt the responses i get from their support staff w/out first spending time to research before asking the forums.
