Checking the current location requires extra battery use. Apple doesn't want your app draining their user's battery if you're only using it for showing them ads. This may be all that it's about.
- loumf 17y agoIt would also be really confusing to the user. I download a game or some other app where location isn't useful and all of the sudden I get a popup asking me if I trust this application with my location information. Then if I do, I just get targeted ads, not app functionality. Probably there isn't a local ad for a lot of places (or I just don't notice that it's local), so this just seems weird to the user.
