I am native iOS Developer who is trying ionic react programming for very first time. I am doing POC to track ios device's location while app is in background. But I am struuggling to achive that since two days. Could anybody please help me to do that?
As per ionic react documentation we need to use @capacitor/geolocation to implement location tracking feature. I read the documentation and I found that watchPosition(options: PositionOptions, callback: WatchPositionCallback) => Promise<CallbackID> this method to be used to track live location of device.
Please refer below code
Code I am using to get the user's permission to track the location which is working fine.
const requestPermission = async () => { try { const result = await Geolocation.requestPermissions(); if (result.location === 'granted') { console.log('Permission granted'); } else { // Handle denied permission } } catch (error) { console.error('Error requesting location permission:', error); } }
Code I am using to track user's location in background
const startBackgroundTracking = async () => { console.log('startBackgroundTracking'); const watchId = Geolocation.watchPosition( { enableHighAccuracy: true, timeout: 10000, maximumAge: 5000, // Other options... }, (position: Position | null, error: any) => { console.log('(position: Position | null, error: any) =>', position, error) if (position) { console.log('Background position:', position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude); // Send location updates to server or perform desired actions } else if (error) { console.error('Error watching position:', error); } } );
Please not that live tracking of the user's device is performing well I am facing issue with live tracking while app goes in background state.
Also I have added required keys in Info.plist in Xcode project -
Also I have enabled background location updates capability in Xcode project
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
