Automatically resume location sharing on boot
If a phone is rebooted, Hauk will not automatically resume its session, it will wait for me to open the app, then a dialog will show up asking if I want to resume or not, and only if I press Yes then it will continue working.
Thinking of a longer-term location sharing I would like Hauk to share my location until I explicitly tell it to stop, or until the location link expires. This is particularly useful for a location sharing with family members.
When the app needs to be auto-launched:
I would then like Hauk to auto-resume sesson without asking me to confirm (could you please comment on why there is a confirmation in the first place, if the app is recovering from an abrupt stop, it's probably not caused by user's activity anyway?).
Let me know if you want a PR, I am happy to help 😉
Thanks for the suggestion, and sorry for taking so long to get back to you (been a very busy few months lately). I'll see if I can get support for this implemented some time over new years!
As for the reason you're asked to confirm - if I remember correctly, this was mostly to prevent re-launching shares that you might not want to keep sharing anymore. I can add a setting to the app so auto-resumption is configurable.
+1 I have exactly the same need. It would be a great feature that allows the user to set automatic resume.
