I just can get my CLLocationManager to authorise. (swift under ios8) I even add an explicit requestAlwaysAuthorization call (which I don't need with objC under ios7)

func finishLaunch() {
    //ask for authorization
    let status = CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus()
    if(status == CLAuthorizationStatus.NotDetermined) {
        self.locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization();
    }
    else {
        self.startMonitoring()
    }
    ...
}

the callback never gets anything but NotDermined and there is no UIAlertView shown to the user.

func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!, didChangeAuthorizationStatus status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
    if(status == CLAuthorizationStatus.NotDetermined) {
        println("Auth status unkown still!");
    }
    self.startMonitoring()
}

Am I doing it wrong? -- Feels like a bug to me but I'd like some feedback

Keep in mind that NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription or NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription keys are now mandatory, so you should include that in your plist.
