What happened?

Dear Sir/Madam,

Most of the devices have this feature as default. and hence the app stops tracking once killed from background.

Plugin Code and/or Config

bg.BackgroundGeolocation.onMotionChange((bg.Location location) {
      log('[motionchange] - ${location}');
    });

    // Fired whenever the state of location-services changes.  Always fired at boot
    bg.BackgroundGeolocation.onProviderChange((bg.ProviderChangeEvent event) {
      log('[providerchange] - $event');
    });

    bg.BackgroundGeolocation.registerHeadlessTask(
        backgroundGeolocationHeadlessTask);

    bg.Config bgConfig = bg.Config(
        desiredAccuracy: bg.Config.DESIRED_ACCURACY_MEDIUM,
        stopOnTerminate: false,
        startOnBoot: true,
        preventSuspend: true,
        debug: false,
        enableHeadless: true,
        autoSync: true,
        batchSync: true,
        allowIdenticalLocations: true,
        disableAutoSyncOnCellular: false,
        notification: new bg.Notification(
            title: "myHisaab",
            text: "Your location is being tracked during the punched phase"),
        notificationTitle: 'myHisaab',
        notificationText:
            'Your location is being tracked during the punched phase',
        foregroundService: true,
        showsBackgroundLocationIndicator: true,
        forceReloadOnBoot: true,
        url:"$SERVER_URL_STRING",
        logLevel: bg.Config.LOG_LEVEL_OFF);
    await bg.BackgroundGeolocation.ready(bgConfig).then((bg.State state) async {
      print('[ready] BackgroundGeolocation is configured and ready to use');
      await bg.BackgroundGeolocation.start();
      bg.BackgroundGeolocation.sync();
      return;
    });

The app tracks for sometime but then stops. after 5-10 minutes.

What would you expect the plug-in to do I this case?

[reev-create]

Alright so, i'm not sure what happened but i disabled the ''Remove permissions if app isn't used'. it has to do something with the device and the plugin. because in the normal work manager, it's working. but using this package it is not. PLease look into it and fix it.

[christocracy]

What exactly are you expecting the plug-in to do with respect to the system setting “Remove permissions if app isn't used”?
