How to get GPS/Location data on Windows Phone 8?
Hi,
I'm looking to get the GPS/Location services data on a Windows Phone 8 device. I have a script that checks for Input.location.isEnabledByUser but it always returns false. Location Services is enabled on the phone, I can successfully deploy to the phone and other apps on the phone can correctly use location services. I've also run my script on an Android device and it correctly returns true and reports the position.
Any idea what I could be missing here?
I'm running Unity 4.5.5.
Thanks

Managed to solve this for Windows Phone 8.1 apps. WP 8 doesn't seem to have full support for this and is deprecated.
First, ensure Location settings are enabled on your device.
Then go the Player Settings, in the Unity Editor and select Windows Store App. Then go to Publishing Settings, scroll to the bottom and go to Capabilities. Check the box next to Location.
Next time you build and run your app on the device, it should give you a prompt about whether you give permission to use Location services. Press yes and you should now have it functioning!
