startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges not calling didUpdateLocations: when app is closed - ios

Im building a simple ios app with IBeacon, Im using startMonitoringForRegion for detect beacons.
Thats working ok.
I also want to check the users location when the app is background or closed, for that purpose im using startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges. In background modes works ok, but when the app is closed the didUpdateLocations: callback is not fired.
My code (from AppDelegate.m) is below:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
if ([launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocationKey]) {
[self.locationManager startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges];
NSString *message = #"UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocationKey";
[self sendLocalNotificationWithMessage:message];
}
UILocalNotification *localNotif =
[launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocalNotificationKey];
if (localNotif)
{
NSString *idN = [localNotif.userInfo objectForKey:#"id_notif"];
[self sendToDetail:idN];
}
if ([UIApplication instancesRespondToSelector:#selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)]) {
NSLog(#"RESPONDS!!!!!");
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:UIUserNotificationTypeAlert|UIUserNotificationTypeSound|UIUserNotificationTypeBadge categories:nil]];
}
[self resetBadge];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
NSUUID *beaconUUID = [[NSUUID alloc] initWithUUIDString:#"B9407F30-F5F8-466E-AFF9-25556B57FE6A"];
NSString *regionIdentifier = #"iBeacons region 1";
CLBeaconRegion *beaconRegion = [[CLBeaconRegion alloc] initWithProximityUUID: beaconUUID identifier: regionIdentifier ];
beaconRegion.notifyEntryStateOnDisplay = YES;
self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc]init];
if([self.locationManager respondsToSelector:#selector(requestAlwaysAuthorization)]){
[self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
}
self.locationManager.delegate = self;
//self.locationManager.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically = NO;
[self.locationManager startMonitoringForRegion:beaconRegion];
return YES;
}
- (void) locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didEnterRegion:(CLRegion *)region{
[manager startRangingBeaconsInRegion:(CLBeaconRegion*) region];
NSLog(#"didEnterRegion");
}
- (void) locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didExitRegion:(CLRegion *)region{
[manager stopRangingBeaconsInRegion:(CLBeaconRegion*) region];
NSLog(#"didExitRegion");
}
- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application {
NSLog(#"startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges");
[self.locationManager startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges];
}
- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application {
NSLog(#"stopMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges");
[self.locationManager stopMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges];
}
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations {
NSString *message = #"didUpdateLocations";
[self sendLocalNotificationWithMessage:message];
CLLocation *currentLocation = locations[0];
if (currentLocation != nil) {
NSString *longitude = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.8f", currentLocation.coordinate.longitude];
NSString *latitude = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.8f", currentLocation.coordinate.latitude];
NSString *message = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"longitud: %# latitud: %#", longitude,latitude ];
[self sendLocalNotificationWithMessage:message];
}
}
Any idea?
Thanks

This things are to manage the region monitoring.

My Problem is region monitoring methods are called multiple times even if I am not moving in side the region itself. Everything else is working fine, Accuracy buffer is around 50-80 meters that is fine for me.
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didEnterRegion:(CLRegion *)region
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didExitRegion:(CLRegion *)region
Also if I am turning off Wi-Fi then it's calling up these methods back to back saying exit from region and enter in to region. As far as I know GPS accuracy is depends on Wi-Fi.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
a Possible workaround in the interim while the apple bug gets fixed is to rate limit the callback; thereby not acting on all the callbacks but limiting the rate at which the callbacks can get processed.
Callback execution portions that happen before the time period expires get ignored.
Here is and example code that could assist, not tested:
The rate is limited to 2 seconds.
-(void)methodRateLimit {
#synchronized(self) {
// rate limit begin
static NSDate *lastTimeExit = nil;
if (!lastTimeExit) {
lastTimeExit = [NSDate distantPast]; // way back in time
}
NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
if ([now timeIntervalSinceDate:lastTimeExit] > 2) {
// do work here
NSLog(#"Executing");
lastTimeExit = now;
} else {
NSLog(#"Limiting");
}
}
}

I am monitoring for the region later on with:

region.notifyOnEntry = true;
region.notifyOnExit = true;
NSLog(#"%d", [CLLocationManager authorizationStatus]);
[[[StoryController sharedController] locationManager] startMonitoringForRegion:region];
I am not receiving any notifications when I leave or enter a 1km range with the app backgrounded.
How do I make this work? When I log out my monitored regions, I do see the lat & lng are correct.
Two things you need to make sure you're doing.
checking for availability of region monitoring
make sure your locationManager.authorizationStatus == .authorizedAlways
Some systems simply don't support region monitoring, and region monitoring will never work unless your authorizationStatus is .authorizedAlways, only then can it monitor in the background.

iOS issue in background location updates. It stops after around 24 hours

In my app I want to fetch and upload location on server in regular intervals. for foreground it works fine but for background it has issue as described below. One thing to mention here I use different class for foreground and separate code for background.
To fetch location in background I do the following. It does upload location for about 24 - 40 hours but get stopped after 24-40 hours. I did not get "willTerminate" event. I have also written code to capture global execption so that I could log SigKill if user kill my app but it too does not get logged reason could be we can't catch SigKill.
Now I am stuck don't know what to do to keep my app alive in background to upload location in regular intervals.

iBeacon and Notification

i'm developing an iOS application and i'm using beacons.
I've a problem. I'm at the beginning of the development, so I only have my appdelegate. In appdelegate.m I have initialized like so
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
self.locationManager.delegate = self;
NSUUID *uuid = [[NSUUID alloc] initWithUUIDString:#"8AEFB031-6C32-486F-825B-E26FA193487D"];
CLBeaconRegion *region = [[CLBeaconRegion alloc] initWithProximityUUID:uuid
identifier:#"Region"];
if ([CLLocationManager isMonitoringAvailableForClass:[CLBeaconRegion class]])
{
NSLog(#"I'm looking for a beacon");
[self.locationManager startRangingBeaconsInRegion:region];
} else {
NSLog(#"Device doesn't support beacons ranging");
}
return YES;
}
and then I wrote two delegate methods
- (void) locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didExitRegion:(CLRegion *)region {
NSLog(#"EXIT");
}
- (void) locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didEnterRegion:(CLRegion *)region {
NSLog(#"ENTER");
}
but they never get called!!! What's the problem here?
you RANGE but you never MONITOR the regions.
Ranging for beacons will only call: locationManager:didRangeBeacons:inRegion:
The methods enterRegion/exitRegion you want are for monitoring only. So call:
- (void)startMonitoringForRegion:(CLRegion *)region
I don't know why there are not calling but this is how we can handle beacons...
- (void)createBeaconRegion
{
self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
self.locationManager.delegate = self;
NSUUID *uuid = [[NSUUID alloc] initWithUUIDString:#"8AEFB031-6C32-486F-825B-E26FA193487D"];
CLBeaconRegion *region = [[CLBeaconRegion alloc] initWithProximityUUID:uuid
identifier:#"Region"];
if ([CLLocationManager isMonitoringAvailableForClass:[CLBeaconRegion class]])
{
NSLog(#"I'm looking for a beacon");
[self.locationManager startRangingBeaconsInRegion:region];
} else {
NSLog(#"Device doesn't support beacons ranging");
}
}
- (void)turnOnRanging
{
NSLog(#"Turning on ranging...");
if (![CLLocationManager isRangingAvailable]) {
NSLog(#"Couldn't turn on ranging: Ranging is not available.");
self.rangingSwitch.on = NO;
return;
}
if (self.locationManager.rangedRegions.count > 0) {
NSLog(#"Didn't turn on ranging: Ranging already on.");
return;
}
[self createBeaconRegion];
[self.locationManager startRangingBeaconsInRegion:self.beaconRegion];
NSLog(#"Ranging turned on for region: %#.", self.beaconRegion);
}
- (void)startRangingForBeacons
{
self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
self.locationManager.delegate = self;
self.detectedBeacons = [NSArray array];
[self turnOnRanging];
}
- (void)stopRangingForBeacons
{
if (self.locationManager.rangedRegions.count == 0) {
NSLog(#"Didn't turn off ranging: Ranging already off.");
return;
}
[self.locationManager stopRangingBeaconsInRegion:self.beaconRegion];
NSLog(#"Turned off ranging.");
}
You can refer the entire sample project using below link
https://github.com/nicktoumpelis/HiBeacons
That uses to display Beacons..
Hope it helps you....!
