Hi all,
I'm trying to develop a GPS tracking app for iOS similar to this one: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gps-location-tracker-for-iphone/id554282184?mt=8.
To tell you the truth I wonder how Apple was able to allow an app like this in the Apple Store. Weird, but this what my client needs.
This is what I have done so far:
- Use location service to track GPS locations. This is working fine if the app is running in foreground / background, but it stops as soon as the user close the app.
- Background fetch. I'm trying to use to track the GPS location if the app is closed. Is Background fetch working when the user closes the app? Also the issue of the Background Fetch is I cannot control the time period requesting the GPS locations.
And this is what my client needs:
Always On. Even if the user closes the app or reboot the device I need a way to keep tracking GPS locations. Any ideas? Is this even possible in iOS? I have read that you can accomplish this GPS tracking using remote notifications. Do you know an example of how to implement the remote notifications?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards
