Exclamation Apple does not allow 3rd parties to use their GPS function

I want to convert a Android App to Iphone.

But i found out Apple does not allow 3rd parties to use their GPS function.

So is there any option to do it or any suggestions..

Thanks

Location services can be used by iPhone apps, I don't think that there is a restriction. Where did you read that it is not allowed?

It's in my competitors app's website..

bottom of the website: PhoneGuard - It's Your Life. Drive It.

However, unlike our robust Blackberry and Android applications, the iPhone application cannot use global positioning satellite (GPS) tracking to suspend the phone's keyboard and prevent emailing, surfing the web or texting while driving.
it was you can't suspend keyboard, etc
that is what it was.

Yep, but that restriction doesn't really have anything to do with the device's GPS. You aren't allowed to suspend the device's keyboard, email, web surfing, or texting functionality period.

Right.

iOS apps are CLIENT apps. They operate in a sandbox, and are not allowed to alter the behavior of the device. You can offer features inside your app, but the function of the device outside your app is off-limits. In OS terms, they run in user mode, and never get admin privileges. Ever.
