Cannot get requestWhenInUseAuthorization or requestWhenInUseAuthorization to work

This is my code, it works fine in IOS7 but in IOS8 I can't get authorisation alert to show. I already added the keys in the Info plist for NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription & NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription.

.h

#import <CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h>
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface ViewController : UIViewController

@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *LatitudeLabel;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *LongitudeLabel;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *GPSAccuracyLabel;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *AltitudeLabel;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *VerticalAccuracyLabel;

- (IBAction)getCurrentLocation:(id)sender;

@end

.m

#import "ViewController.h"

@interface ViewController ()

// create a property to hold current time.
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSDate *lastUpdateTime;
@end

@implementation ViewController {
CLLocationManager *locationManager;

}

- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];

self.lastUpdateTime = [NSDate date];

locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];

CLAuthorizationStatus authorizationStatus= [CLLocationManager authorizationStatus];

if (authorizationStatus == kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorizedAlways ||
    authorizationStatus == kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorizedWhenInUse) {

    [locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}
}

This is my Info.Plist:

For example if you need "WhenInUseAuthorization" in your viewDidLoad :

-(void)viewDidLoad {

[super viewDidLoad];

self.lastUpdateTime = [NSDate date];

locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];

CLAuthorizationStatus authorizationStatus= [CLLocationManager authorizationStatus];

NSLog(@"authStatus = %d",authorizationStatus);

if([locationManger respondsToSelector:@selector(requestWhenInUseAuthorization)])

  [locationManger requestWhenInUseAuthorization];

  [locationManager startUpdatingLocation];






}

Check your status from authStatus

typedef enum {
    kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined  = 0,
    kCLAuthorizationStatusRestricted ,
    kCLAuthorizationStatusDenied ,
    kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorized ,
    kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorizedAlways  = kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorized ,
    kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorizedWhenInUse
} CLAuthorizationStatus;

And remember to add in your info.plist

<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>Your message</string>
