I just had a build approved within the last week, and didn't change anything with this but still got rejected today (different app reviewers have let interface guideline issues slip in the past that I had to fix in subsequent builds). Is this something that could be added via LiveCode? I compiled using LC 8.1.1 and Xcode 8.

Thank you, I just found the setting Apple was talking about in plist and made the change. That was easy enough with your suggestion, but not quite what I needed. 

The problem is that setting is for when Location Authorization Type is set to Always, but my app uses When In Use (not Always). 

I wonder if this was just an error on Apples behalf. I will submit a new build after the iTunes Connect holiday is over next week.
