CoreLocation requestWhenInUseAuthorization() not working in Swift

I want my app to show the user's location but it doesn't ask for WhenInUseAuthorization. I added the NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription key in the Info.plist. I tried in the iOS simulator with simulate location & on an actual device. 

import UIKit
import MapKit
import CoreLocation

class ViewController: UIViewController, MKMapViewDelegate, CLLocationManagerDelegate {

    @IBOutlet weak var mapView: MKMapView!

    var locationManager = CLLocationManager()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        locationManager.delegate = self
        locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest

        if CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus() == .NotDetermined {
            self.locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
        }
    }

    func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!, didChangeAuthorizationStatus status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {

        if CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus() == .AuthorizedWhenInUse {
            locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
            mapView.showsUserLocation = true

            let userLocation = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(locationManager.location.coordinate.latitude, locationManager.location.coordinate.longitude)
            mapView.region = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(userLocation, 100, 100)

        } else {

            let defaultLocation = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(45.5017, -73.5673)
            mapView.region = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(defaultLocation, 100, 100)
        }
    }
}

This was my mistake, I added the NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription key in the test folder's Info.plist instead of the main project's plist.

Maybe you call requestWhenInUseAuthorization too early. Try to call in didChangeAuthorizationStatus delegate.

func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!, didChangeAuthorizationStatus status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
    if status == CLAuthorizationStatus.NotDetermined {
        locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
    }
}

Have you changed user location on simulator? If you didn't change it, you can't get the "user location".
