Is there a way to get longitude and latitude in an Xojo desktop app?
This is easily done in Xcode (using Swift) so seems like it should be in Xojo as well.
I read how to do it with web apps, but nothing for Xojo Desktop apps.
Thanks
Hi,
Maybe you can take a look at MBS. @Christian_Schmitz has a sample code in /MacFrameworks/CoreLocation/CoreLocation to find computer location

You mean the CLLocationMBS and CLLocationManagerMBS classes.

Thank you for your reply.
I downloaded MBS-Xojo-Plugins234
I copied MBS Xojo Main Plugin.xojo_plugin to Plugins folder
I copied MBS Xojo MacCI Plugin.xojo_plugin to Plugins folder
I ran the supplied demo app called “CoreLocation to find computer location”
I received the attached error. Am I doing something wrong?
You may need this? Monkeybread Xojo plugin - CGImageMBS class
We have dependencies:
- MBS MacCI Plugin
- MBS Main Plugin
- MBS MacCG Plugin
- MBS MacBase Plugin
- MBS MacCF Plugin
So please add the missing plugin files.
Christian even has a webpage that shows all the plugin dependencies.

I never could get this to work. I want to give it another try.
All I need is the longitude and latitude.
Is there someplace that shows step-by-step exactly what I need to do to get longitude and latitude without reading 400 pages not related to longitude and latitude ?
Thanks!
Finally, after spending way too much time - using trial and error - I was able to determine all the plugins required to get users location.
I hope this helps someone in the future where they don’t have to waste as time as I did.
Here they are…
MBS MacCI Plugin
MBS Main Plugin
MBS MacCG Plugin
MBS MacBase Plugin
MBS MacCF Plugin
MBS MacFrameworks
MBS MacControls
MBS MacCocoa
Well, you could have looked on the dependencies page here:
I did, but they were not all listed.
