No visible #interface for 'CLLocation' declares the selector 'setDesiredAccuracy:' - objective-c

Question

I added the CoreLocation framework, and I keep rereading the code in my book to make sure I copied it down correctly but I am getting a persistent No visible #interface for 'CLLocation' declares the selector 'setDesiredAccuracy:' error.
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h>
#interface WhereamiViewController : UIViewController {
CLLocation *locationManager;
}
#end
#import "WhereamiViewController.h"
#interface WhereamiViewController ()
#end
#implementation WhereamiViewController
-(id) initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
locationManager = [[CLLocation alloc] init
[locationManager setDesiredAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyBest];
}
return self;
}
#end

Answer 1

You want CLLocationManager, not CLLocation.

Answer 2

I think you wanted to use CLLocationManager ...
CLLocationManager *locationManager;

Answer 3

Only CLLocationManager declares a selector named -setDesiredAccuracy, not CLLocation.

Answer 4

CLLocation
is a location object, it holds a specific coordinate/location, that can be displayed on a map view. However, CLLocationManager is an object which manages location and heading updates. setDesiredAccuracy is the method where you set the accuracy of the location manager's location and heading updates. If you set the accuracy high, the location manager will update with a very accurate point of where you are, but considerably slow. (Not really, but when you compare to other accuracies).
The delegate method where the location updates it:
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation {
To start the updates, you can first customize it like you said, with the accuracy and distance filter. Then to start, simply write:
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
And, so I can guess how you would stop updates.
NOTE: If you are on ARC, make your location manager an instance variable (declared in .h) because it releases the location manager very quickly and the popup to let the user decide if your app can track you location will popup and then disappear in less than a second. And of course your locations wont update.
