IOS kill mode: service stop after starting it in still state

[Rutvik-tbz]

I want to get a location in kill mode (iOS) My application is already in a kill state, I activate location services (BackgroundGeolocation.start()) using silent notifications. The location service activates successfully and provides 2-3 locations, but then it stops giving updates after that, my mobile is in still mode (on my desk) how can I start it in still mode for some time

If I walk, then it starts successfully.

Your Environment

• Plugin version: 4.16.3
• Platform: iOS
• OS version: 17.6.1
• Device manufacturer / model: iPhone 15
• React Native version (react-native -v): 0.74.1
• Plugin config

BackgroundGeolocation.ready({
	stationaryRadius: 0,
	desiredAccuracy: BackgroundGeolocation.DESIRED_ACCURACY_HIGH,
	distanceFilter: 0,
	stopTimeout: 5,
	debug: true, // <-- enable this hear sounds for background-geolocation life-cycle.
	logLevel: BackgroundGeolocation.LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE,
	stopOnTerminate: false, // <-- Allow the background-service to continue tracking when user closes the app.
	startOnBoot: true, // <-- Auto start tracking when device is powered-up.

	// useSignificantChangesOnly: true,
	batchSync: false,

	stopOnStationary: false,
	allowIdenticalLocations: true,

	locationUpdateInterval: 1000,
	fastestLocationUpdateInterval: 60 * 1000,

	showsBackgroundLocationIndicator: true,
	heartbeatInterval: 60, // 1 min Interval
	preventSuspend: true, // iOS need to work heartbeatInterval
	autoSync: false, // Disable automatic syncing (this doesn't directly prevent permission requests but is a common recommendation)

	// Android & iOS location-services will never turn off
	disableStopDetection: true,
	pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically: false, // Need for iOS to set location-services will never turn off along with disableStopDetection
})

Steps to Reproduce

1. First, kill your iOS application.
2. Send a silent push notification
3. Start the location service upon receiving the notification.
