MKMapKit Not Showing userLocation

Question

I need help with showing the user's location on my MapView. I have done everything I could possibly find online, but it still does not work.

I have a CLLocationManager in my AppDelegate that calls the locationUpdate in my viewController.

The (void)locationUpdate:(CLLocation *)location method gets called every time and the location coordinates is correct when logged with the NSLog(). Still, there is no "Blue Dot" on my iPhone's screen. The region is not set as well.

Please take a look and tell me if I am missing anything.

This is my header file:

//My .h file
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <MapKit/MapKit.h>
#import <MapKit/MKAnnotation.h>
#import <MapKit/MKReverseGeocoder.h>
@interface FirstViewController : UIViewController <MKMapViewDelegate>
{
    MKMapView *mapView;
}
-(void)locationUpdate:(CLLocation *)location;
-(void)locationError:(NSError *)error;
@end

This is my part of my implementation file:

//My .m file
#import "FirstViewController.h"
@implementation FirstViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    mapView = [[MKMapView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
    mapView.showsUserLocation = YES;
    mapView.mapType = MKMapTypeStandard;
    mapView.delegate = self;

    CLLocationCoordinate2D location;
    MKCoordinateRegion region;// = {{0.0,0.0},{0.0,0.0}};
    location.latitude = -33.8771;
    location.longitude = 18.6155;
    MKCoordinateSpan span;
    span.latitudeDelta = 0.01;
    span.longitudeDelta = 0.01;
    region.span = span;
    region.center = location;
    [mapView setRegion:region animated:TRUE];
    [mapView regionThatFits:region];
    [super viewDidLoad];
}
-(void)locationUpdate:(CLLocation *)location
{
    CLLocationCoordinate2D loc = [location coordinate];
    [mapView setCenterCoordinate:loc];
    if([mapView showsUserLocation] == NO)
    [mapView setShowsUserLocation:YES];
    NSLog(@"User Loc: %f, %f", mapView.userLocation.location.coordinate.latitude,
                     mapView.userLocation.location.coordinate.longitude);
    NSLog(@"In MapView: %@",[location description]);
}
@end

Thank you for your time! It is much appreciated!

Your Map kit in Interface Builder needs to have the (Find User Location) checked!!
