I've followed best practices - or so I believe in developing my app, however, it will not despite best effort - restart after a terminate event. The app starts in the log - however, it will not relaunch my geo code.
In order to debug - I reviewed the sample app (which I believe is Ionic - I'm using a jquery builder) - and have taken the app, created a new app which only has a button on the screen to launch geo-location. I have a JS support file, and the balance which is-has been supplied via the builder I'm using (Appery.io).
The app functions wonderfully in foreground, background, and on Android, and produces the desired results both in the full app and in my sample app.
However, I'm stuck on getting the app to launch on IOS after terminate. Can you help? If I need to purchase paid support for this issue - and you believe you can help - I'm glad to make that investment as the restart is a business requirement.
Below - my Javascript, and I've attached my IOS project file - as exported from xCode as well as the log extract from startup , terminate, and then where it boots the app - but does not restart my geo-code..
