Ti.Geolocation.purpose stopped working with 3.3.0 on iOS

Hi,

I have this strange problem. My map view was working just fine until I upgraded to 3.3.0 and replaced the map view with the map module. Map is on the screen but because Ti.Geolocation.purpose does not execute, I cannot focus on the users location.

I am working on Ti Alloy, everything updated to latest stable version.

MapView.js

Ti.API.info ('requesting location access');
Ti.Geolocation.purpose = 'Need location';
Ti.API.info ('requested access');
var lat;
var lon;
if (Ti.Geolocation.getLocationServicesAuthorization() == 3) {
 
    Ti.Geolocation.getCurrentPosition ( function (e) {
        lat = e.coords.latitude;
        lon = e.coords.longitude;
            $.v_map.region = {
                latitude:lat, 
                longitude:lon,
                latitudeDelta:0.01, 
                longitudeDelta:0.01
            };
        });
}
    ~~~
 
And MapView.xml

Both "Ti.API.info" lines execute when I open the mapview but I do not get the pop-up requesting access to location services. I have tried adding require (ti.map) at the start of the JS but to no avail.

I have tried this on simulator and iPhone 4S device, both resetting them to factory state in case if I denied the request accidentally. My application also does not show up in "Settings > Privacy > Location" menu. I am quite sure I got this working before the 3.3.0 update and my application was shown as allowed in the Privacy menu.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.
