Beacon didRangeBeacons in Region not Called - objective-c

Question

My code was working perfectly some months ago. i dint chnage anything
I dont understand why the didRangeBeacons in Region not trigger when i launch my app :
#import "ESTViewController.h"
#import "PresentViewController.h"
#import <ESTBeaconManager.h>
#import <Parse/Parse.h>
#import <AudioToolbox/AudioToolbox.h>
#interface ESTViewController () <ESTBeaconManagerDelegate>
#property (nonatomic, strong) ESTBeaconManager* beaconManager;
#property (nonatomic, strong) ESTBeacon* selectedBeacon;
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray *beaconsArray;
#end
#implementation ESTViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// setup Estimote beacon manager.
// Create the manager instance.
self.beaconManager = [[ESTBeaconManager alloc] init];
// Setup the delegate
self.beaconManager.delegate = self;
// Avoiding unknown state or not
self.beaconManager.avoidUnknownStateBeacons = NO;
// create sample region object (beacons in this case have all same uuid and same major)
region = [[ESTBeaconRegion alloc] initWithProximityUUID:ESTIMOTE_PROXIMITY_UUID identifier:#"multibeacons"];
[self.beaconManager requestStateForRegion:region];
}
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
}
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
// start looking for estimote beacons in region
// when beacon ranged beaconManager:didRangeBeacons:inRegion: invoked
[self.beaconManager startRangingBeaconsInRegion:region];
[self.beaconManager startMonitoringForRegion:region];
}
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillDisappear:animated];
}
- (void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidDisappear:animated];
// stop looking for estimote beacons in region
[self.beaconManager stopRangingBeaconsInRegion:region];
[self.beaconManager stopMonitoringForRegion:region];
}

i have a break point at the line after the pragma mark , it never reach that code. I really dont understand why.
Thanks for your help.

I found a solution :
i updated the Info.plist file with :
<key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
<string>This application monitors your location to show you promotional offers in shops you're passing by.</string>
In the iphone i have change the settings for localisation for my app to "always"
