Continuous(WhenInUse) Location Tracking is not working in Android

[nishadthajudeen001]

Continues Location tracking is not working in Android(works fine in IOS) with below configuration. I can see the heartbeat(onLocation) calls are being happened but not onLocation calls. Please review and provide a solution

OS version : Android 10 Device manufacturer / model: Samsung S9 Plus

We tested few other devices in Android but no luck. Its tracking when we test with 'Mock GPS' like apps

Updated to 4.9.4 but continuous tracking is still not working in android, but IOS is working well. Any suggestion or pointer to fix this android issue?

[christocracy]

4.9.4 is from December last year. Update to the latest version.

Do you know that automatic triggering of location-tracking in the background is impossible with WhenInUse? You must MANUALLY call .changePace(true) (after calling .start()) while your app is in the foreground.
