## Expected Behavior
send updated location to our test server using url configuration when app running in physical device(debug .apk)

## Actual Behavior
updated location send to our test server when app running using emulator.

Are you going outside moving for at least 1000 meters?

Are you going outside moving for at least 1000 meters?

Hi christocracy Thanks for your response. Actually I am able to seen the updated location on device on view when I am moving , but that updated location not sent to our server. I configure my server url inside BackgroundGeolocation.ready like url: 'https://ourtestserver.com/locations', but when I am running app inside emulator I am able to see the updated location on view as well as app able to send updated location to server also.

but that updated location not sent to our server.

And what do the plug-in’s logs say? See wiki Debugging
