iOS Battery monitoring Swift

I have set the monitoring enabled, but still the battery level is coming as -1 in both the simulator and on a physical device.

UIDevice.currentDevice().batteryMonitoringEnabled = true
var level = UIDevice.currentDevice().batteryLevel

The level variable is always -1 for the simulator and most of the time -1 for a physical device. What else should I do to get the value working?

Well, it seems that batteryMonitoringEnabled doesn't work on Simulators. It simply doesn't change when I set it to true. So state becomes UIDeviceBatteryStateUnknown then. Found no related notes in Apple's docs.

If battery monitoring is not enabled, battery state is UIDevice.BatteryState.unknown and the value of this property is –1.0. Ensure that you have enabled isBatteryMonitoringEnabled properly.

Swift 4

UIDevice.current.isBatteryMonitoringEnabled = true
let batteryLevel = UIDevice.current.batteryLevel

I don't know what's the problem but try this: Instead of using batterylevel, use

UIDevice.currentDevice().batteryState

Kindly provide your full code for apt answer.
