Appstore refusing because of background tracking because of UIBackgroundModes

[lander854]

I`m using only foreground location tracking but because the package uses background location api appstore is refusing to accept it because of UIBackgroundModes

Your Environment Plugin version: latest Platform: iOS OS version:iOS 13 Device manufacturer / model: Iphone React Native version (react-native -v): 62.0 Plugin config basic only function used is BackgroundGeolocation.getCurrentLocation(function(locations) { console.log(locations); }); Expected Behavior appstore should accept becuase it is not using background location

Actual Behavior appstore refusing app because of background geolocation

UIBackgroundModes

I have the same problem here .

Is this still an issue? I'm looking into using this for background location tracking, however if the app is then not accepted bij Apple I will have to look for another package.

I also have an idea that this is not maintained very well is it?

Hello @Tinmania2018 do you have another lib beside this lib? please share.

Hello @Tinmania2018 do you have another lib beside this lib? please share.

I have started using Expo-location with the expo-task-manager, the location service worked but the background task from the task manager generated a lot of errors. Still not found a fix for this unfortunatly.

I stuck with this lib for about 2 weeks already for testing when app killed/terminated. hmmm

https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-geolocation-service this one seems more promising

We are using another library now, this one seems to be unsupported.. I'm usign react-native-geolocation-service now

Does this update location when app is in background?

@Rc85 Did you found any alternative plugin for fetching location in background. Does react-native-geolocation-service support background fetching for ios and android ?
