Forever is probably not possible since the OS can kill it due to battery optimization, but have you tried to set startForeground to true? It helped me when I needed it to run in the background for long period of time.

+1 have the same issue, on my android plugin works fine, but on ios after restarting app I check status of BackgroundGeolocation and have isRunning: false @HarelM, @skibaalex any solution? do you need any information? maybe I miss something? Thank you

From my experience the background location works differently in live environment after Apple approved the app. In my case the behavior was the same and I'm my case I could implement server side solution and after they approved it it worked like expected 🤷‍♂️

I haven't fully tested it on iOS, but I haven't received any complains from my users so I guess it just worked for me... My location service wrapper can be found here: https://github.com/IsraelHikingMap/Site/blob/master/IsraelHiking.Web/sources/application/services/geo-location.service.ts Feel free to copy it :-)
