CMAtimeter callback never works

Question

Using my 6+, I am trying to read relative altitude and pressure using the new CMAltimeter from CoreMotion. However, the callback never works. I have a very similar setup, which instead uses accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers. They all work fine.

I wonder if anyone managed to get a reading?

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    if([CMAltimeter isRelativeAltitudeAvailable]){
        CMAltimeter *altimeterManager = [[CMAltimeter alloc]init];
        [altimeterManager startRelativeAltitudeUpdatesToQueue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] withHandler:^(CMAltitudeData *altitudeData, NSError *error) {
            // This never fires.
            NSString *data = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Altitude: %f %f", altitudeData.relativeAltitude.floatValue, altitudeData.pressure.floatValue];
            NSLog(@"%@", data);
            self.altimeterLabel.text = data;
        }];
        NSLog(@"Started altimeter");
        self.altimeterLabel.text = @"-\n-";
    } else {
        NSLog(@"Altimeter not available");
    }
}

I tried it fast, but there is only one height story to lose / win here.

Answer 1

I am rather embarrassed to answer my question with such a huge oversight.

CMAltimiter viewDidLoad, . iVar, .

#import "ViewController.h"
@import CoreMotion;

@interface ViewController ()
@property (nonatomic, strong) CMAltimeter *altimeterManager;
@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    if([CMAltimeter isRelativeAltitudeAvailable]){
        self.altimeterManager = [[CMAltimeter alloc]init];
        [self.altimeterManager startRelativeAltitudeUpdatesToQueue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] withHandler:^(CMAltitudeData *altitudeData, NSError *error) {
            // This now fires properly
            NSString *data = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Altitude: %f %f", altitudeData.relativeAltitude.floatValue, altitudeData.pressure.floatValue];
            NSLog(@"%@", data);
            self.altimeterLabel.text = data;
        }];
        NSLog(@"Started altimeter");
        self.altimeterLabel.text = @"-\n-";
    } else {
        NSLog(@"Altimeter not available");
    }
}

[altimeterManager stopRelativeAltitudeUpdates]; , .
