Background tracking
I was wondering if the app continues to track if the iPhone screen is off, or even if another app is in foreground? I did not see any mention of that feature on the website/app store page. It would be a nice improvement, and if it is not possible yet, I'm willing to try to implement it (if it makes sense for the project).
Does the feature exist? Are you interested to have it?
I'm not a iOS developer anymore, but I can try :)
This should currently be the case if the user sets the location permission to "Always"
That said, iOS has the final say when it comes to whether if the app will be kept active in the background or not.
I'm not perfectly sure, as my iOS dev skill are quite rusty, I think I remember that it exists some background permission to have the app continuing to work in any case? Or some kind of wake-up mechanism with a schedule?
Anyway, I'm not asking you to implement it, I may take some time to try myself :)
