So right-click on Info.plist in Xcode, Open As -> Source code, and replace the existing NSLocation... rows with this code: NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescriptionThis app needs your current location to show you nearby Points Of InterestNSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescriptionThis app needs your current location to show you nearby Points Of InterestNSLocationAlwaysUsageDescriptionThis app needs your current location to show you nearby Points Of InterestNSLocationUsageDescriptionThis app needs your current location to show you nearby Points Of Interest In this way, the Location permission alert will show up on devices with iOS versions older than iOS 11
Finder is a Universal App template for you to build your own Points of Interest app. mostly dedicated to a city. You can easily add POI’s data directly on your Parse Dashboard on back4app.com or on adminca.com.
Once you’ll create a new POI row, you will have to manually type its category, just make sure it matches the uppercase and lowercase characters of the names stored in the Categories class, otherwise, the app won’t recognize them.
Since its backend is by Parse Server, you don’t have to buy any domain/hosting, there are NO PHP files to upload to a web server so you’ll save some money for server side.
