Repro Steps:
1) Update device to BuildID: 20140602014001
2) Enable geolocation
3) Install and launch Facebook from the marketplace 
4) Tap 'share' when prompted by pop-up to allow Facebook to know your location
5) Tap check-in

Actual:
Geolocation to locate user automatically is not functioning.

Geolocation finds user's position automatically.

Geolocation permission is asked, having said that, the geolocation icon doesn't appear in the status bar.

After turning on the geolocation in the settings, and granting access the status icon appears and facebook does give a list of locations.
The issue also occurs in v1.3 if geolocation is turned off.

I think it might be by design that if geolocation is turned off, then other apps won't get the location.

That's expected behavior since geolocation is turned off. The bug here is talking about the case when geolocation is turned on.
