You need to add a call to requestWhenInUseAuthorization when using location services for iOS-8.0 and above. Find the sample code below.

locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc]init];
locationManager.delegate = self;

// this check is required for iOS 8+
// selector 'requestWhenInUseAuthorization' is first introduced in iOS 8
if ([locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestWhenInUseAuthorization)]) {
    [locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
}

[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];

For more information see this blog.

Hope this helps.

Add [locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization]; to your code and add the entry NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription to your .plist with the value being some sort of message that you want to ask the user for their permission.
