Problems to get to work on Ios

Opened this issue a year ago · 13 comments

Hello, actually I'm using this plugin on capacitor i got it to work for Android Devices but when it comes to Iphone devices i only get troubles actually I modified the info pList with:

Privacy - Location Always and When In Use Usage Description
Privacy - Location When In Use Usage Description
and also on the capabilities I checked the location updates, fetch and background processing

This is my configuration:

  await backgroundGeolocation.configure({
    interval: 5000,
    desiredAccuracy: 0,
    startForeground: true, 
    stopOnTerminate: true, 
    stationaryRadius: 100, 
    distanceFilter: 0, 
    notificationTitle: 'Location Enabled', 
    notificationText: 'Enabled', 
    locationProvider: backgroundGeolocation.DISTANCE_FILTER_PROVIDER, 
    postTemplate: postTemplate
  });

And this is my on event code:

  backgroundGeolocation.on('location', async () => {
    console.log("ENTRA LOC")
    if (!navigator.onLine) {
      return;
    }
    this.locationUpdate(await this.getLocationData());
  });

Finally the xcode log:

As you can see in the log it shows my console log but it never execute the function (inside the functions there are more logs)

Hi?

Answer 1 · 2023-06-13T12:15:28.000Z

Have you played with the configuration? Distance filter of 0 while using distance provider send like a bad idea, but it might work IDK.
I'm using raw provider and it is working as expected on iOS for me.

I have it working on iOS, I can't debug your app...

I know you can't debug my app but may something is wrong with my config, maybe the import?

Answer 10 · 2023-12-29T13:09:46.000Z

Do events really work in backround mode? I think that they dont... Because they require javascript and webview

Answer 11 · 2023-12-29T14:39:58.000Z

They work to a certain limit, I also think it's different between capacitor and Cordova.
Generally speaking, my approach was to trust the db of the plugin and not the state of the webview.

Answer 12 · 2024-01-08T06:33:29.000Z

I think that in cordova they just dont work in background mode. Cause webview gets destroyed. And javascript code just cant be executed. Events are only for foreground mode. But you can get all locations when your app is activated and brought to foreground and then log.
