I have upgrade to the most recent version of the plugin - installed is version 2.0.4

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

When the app is destroyed, the plugin clearly knows its not supposed to stopOnTerminate. It's completely in the OS's hands to restart the app. There's nothing else you or I can do. Before being destroyed, the plugin successfully created a geofence around its last position. iOS persists geofence monitoring automatically. An iOS geofence will respond even after application kill or device reboot.

You app will be killed for a period, until the device responds to a "significant location change". Only then will iOS re-awaken your app. For me, this typically takes 100-200 meters of movement beyond the point where app was killed (tested all over the world).

It's actually a harder problem to keep the app from coming awake when stopOnTerminate: true.

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

Hi Chris,

thanks for the quick response. My problem - the app is coming awake (he's the relevant segment of the log above):

Aug 5 10:33:17 74-80-239-249 Software_Studio_Geolocation_Plugin[6896]: Apache Cordova native platform version 3.9.1 is starting.
Aug 5 10:33:17 74-80-239-249 Software_Studio_Geolocation_Plugin[6896]: Multi-tasking -> Device: YES, App: YES <<========= Restart tof the app.....
Aug 5 10:33:17 74-80-239-249 Software_Studio_Geolocation_Plugin[6896]: Unlimited access to network resources

(that's Cordova waking up my app - and the "unlimited ccess to network resources" is from a console log in the UIController framerwork from Cordova). These events appear in my log - immediately after the terminate event above - and then I tell the simulator - to simulate a 'freeway drive' in my location (SanFrancisco)

the challenge seems to be - what happens from there - the IOS docs - which I'm sure you are deeply familiar with here (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/LocationAwarenessPG/CoreLocation/CoreLocation.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009497-CH2-SW16) - states that it's on me (or the plugin) to relaunch the location services.

I'm guessing that your plugin has the hooks referred to in the article - I'm wondering if the Cordova lib for jQuery is not passing along the request to my app when in headless mode? or do I need to have the jQuery equivalent of onPlatformReady - to relaunch and configure the plugin.

On the jQuery side I'm used to attaching to an 'onDeviceReady' event - however, based on my testing - where I have a log event at the top of onDeviceReady - onDeviceReady is never firing.

Any hints? ways to debug? If this is again - a consulting request - my client has authorized my spending their funds - on resolving this issue.

So - summarizing - the App is in fact restarting - however, it never fires the onDeviceReady event - or actually consumes my javascript code - that should restart the Geo-Activity.

thanks !
Bruce

( ps - I did follow your earlier suggestion on tried to hook into the reload event on the page - that also did not prove fruitful as it does not seem my application pages are actually loading

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

I'm not responsible for Cordova event-ready. The only thing the plugin is responsible for is creating a geofence before it dies so that iOS will re-awaken the app when the device moves beyond that geofence.

Are you sure you don't have a Javascript error in your app code?

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

You can see me demo this behaviour in the Demo Video here. Scroll to bottom.

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

Chris,

thank you again for the continued quick responses.

1. Agreed you don't have responsibility for Cordova event ready.

2.. I've reviewed the code ad-nauseum. It runs in background mode without issue. In terms of running if headless mode - I'm all ears on how I would determine if it will function headless without issue or ensuring there are no code issues (Agree that I could be overlooking something). I've taken out all of the extra code - and left it extremely simple (in the original post).

1. I know your sample app does the work - I've loaded it in the xCode and run it. It is Iconic framework.
2. I guess the question I have boils down to :
3. Have anyone using a jQuery template - successful with restarting their app and Geo?
4. Advice on who can provide the expertise to help debug the issue with the app not loading pages or firing the onDeviceReady method?

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

There is no headless with iOS, only Android.

Thanks - good information.

Open question - have you tried or know of any that has successfully implemented re-start features in jQuery ?

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

Chris, In your sample app - can you please tell me how you are restarting geo-services - if the plugin is not doing this , then your sample app is doing this - I just cannot find the code in either the plugin or the app:

From the IOS App guide on restarting location services:

If you are monitoring regions or using the significant-change location service in your app, there are situations where you must start location services at launch time. Apps using those services can be terminated and subsequently relaunched when new location events arrive. Although the app itself is relaunched, location services are not started automatically. When an app is relaunched because of a location update, the launch options dictionary passed to your application:willFinishLaunchingWithOptions: or application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method contains the UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocationKey key.

The presence of that key signals that new location data is waiting to be delivered to your app. To obtain that data, you must create a new CLLocationManager object and restart the location services that you had running prior to your app’s termination. When you restart those services, the location manager delivers all pending location updates to its delegate.

That's found here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/LocationAwarenessPG/CoreLocation/CoreLocation.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009497-CH2-SW16

The code I'm searching for is a some sort of reference to UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocationKey ?

If I need to build something I my side to enable this - can you point me to what needs to be built?

Best,
Bruce

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

You are over-thinking this. If you want to continue tracking when user
closes app, all you need to do is stopOnTerminate: false, that's it.

You don't need to think about "re-start". If the app is closed while still
enabled with stopOnTerminate: false, it will automatically restart tracking
as soon as the app relaunches.

Go here and watch the video (scroll to bottom)
http://shop.transistorsoft.com/pages/cordova-background-geolocation-premium

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

Chris, I've done the watching of the video.

I'd love to not overthink this !

I''ve passed the correct flag to the IOS side....:

Here's my jSON options object I'm passing at configure time:

oOptions = {
desiredAccuracy: 0,
stationaryRadius: 20,
startOnBoot: true,
stopTimeout: 5,
stopDetectionDelay: 3,
distanceFilter: nDistanceFilter,
locationUpdateInterval: nGPSLogFrequency,
activityRecognitionInterval: nGPSLogFrequency,
fastestLocationUpdateInterval: nFastest,
activityType: 'Other',
debug: bDebug, // <-- enable this hear sounds for background-geolocation life-cycle.
//url : sUrl ,
//params : oGeoObject2Post,
//headers : oHeaders,
stopOnTerminate: false
}

The log above shows the app shutting down. Setting the stationary fence - and then attempting to do a restart.

The app then restarts with the messages shown above and copied back here:

Aug 5 10:33:17 74-80-239-249 Software_Studio_Geolocation_Plugin[6896]: Apache Cordova native platform version 3.9.1 is starting.
Aug 5 10:33:17 74-80-239-249 Software_Studio_Geolocation_Plugin[6896]: Multi-tasking -> Device: YES, App: YES <<========= Restart tof the app.....
Aug 5 10:33:17 74-80-239-249 Software_Studio_Geolocation_Plugin[6896]: Unlimited access to network resources

but then geo-location services do not restart.

Next step would be? (Earlier in this thread you asked me to take a fresh look at my code to ensure there are no errors .... I've done that..) - so - you're still of the belief - that there's an error in my code if it's not restarting??

of note - the call/log entry to background fetch - and the entry to
totalpluginStartup does not occur.

Questions:

Is the backgroundfetch plugin required at startup? Is this the plugin
that you recently added to your plugin?
2.

If the application is not running backgroundfetch - since it is in
the background at startup - and the plugin restart is taking too long - is
there a way to extend the wait period?

Restart is clearly not working - for some reason that appears to be
totally out of my control. It may indeed be also out of your control.
Please advise.

Best,

ZBruce

Hi Chris,

Following the instructions - and only because it may be relevant - is there a presumption that the plugin will be used with Versions of Cordova at or above 4.0 ?

(whitelist plugin seems to suggest that 4.0 or above is being used...)..

Bruce

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

Ignore whitelist. Use v5+.

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

and if my 'builder' (from Appery.io) is using Cordova V. 3.9.1 IOS as a 'built in' framework - is this a non-starter - or just a possible suspect then ?

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

If Appery.io is stuck at 3.9.1, they need to be publicly shamed for not
caring about their customers. Cordova is @ 6.3.0

You need Cordova >= 5.0 to build Android.

Nevertheless, I built background-fetch plugin over 3 years ago on iOS 7 and
Cordova 3.0.

11 months ago, someone was prompting Appery.io about requirements to
support my stuff:

Their platform is seriously complete crap. If they haven't got it together
after nearly a year...

Chris, respect your opinion and I get that. They do now support the import wizard - and your plugin comes in flawlessly (with this exception) and works wonderfully except sadly as noted here.

So - I guess the best I can say here is that they 'sort of' support your stuff - because I've succeeded right to this point.

I just prompted their support (This will be my 3rd ticket to them on this as well) to see if moving to their Ionic builder (since your example app works on the Ionic platform) will cure the issue (or if for some compatibility issue - they are on an older platform there as well).

I appreciate your help here immensely. In terms of a path forward - I'm going to try to bring your code in your www folder into their builder (which turns off code generation) and try to build your code on their builder.

I'm not sure that will help me much as what I'm looking for is a jQuery app that runs on Cordova 3.9.1 and includes your geoLocation code. I will try to rebuild my code and my sample app on Ionic (they support that now) - and my guess is - that will work just fine.

I'll then be left with porting my other app ( not the sample one which I was building just to remove any and all possible code that might make debugging this issue hard - but the one for my client) which was an alpha test version anyway - on the Ionic platform.

On the positive side - if I get this to work - I will be touting the features of your platform and most excellent support - on the Appery forum (which you referred to above - and where I am reasonably active) to anyone looking for a solution to their geolocation requirements. (under my user name - Bruce Stuart).... which is how I met the client I am currently doing work for (by recommending your platform based on my use for a previous client last summer-fall ).

Best,

bruce

I've moved my IOS version down to 8.4 in an attempt to get different behaviors in the logs - to give additional hints to what's happening.

so - App does appear to restart - and - it throws this error in the log - after the restart (but does not restart geo-tracking):

74-80-239-249.ic2net.net assertiond[7372]: could not create or rename power assertion for <BKNewProcess: 0x7f864ac0d190; io.appery.app.SoftwareStudioGeoPlugin; pid: 7488; hostpid: -1>: 0xe00002c9

That's what's being thrown into the log repeatedly. Any idea what might be going on?

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

Nothing to do with the plugin.

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

The BkNewProcess - based on a couple of quick searches (which admittedly I won't hang my hat on) - yields that a background process - which is launching - is taking too much time at startup of that process in the background.

Any chance it's - back to the this thread from yesterday - the BackgroundFetch? Is there an older version of the plugin - that doesn't use background fetch ? or is that something that's been designed in from day 1 ?

I still have your .5 plugin version from last year - hesitant to put it into this - however, will do so if you think it's time well spent.... I'd need to revert to an older version of code to launch it... I'm sure.

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

Background-fetch is not a problem. It's barely a hundred lines of Obj-c code. You have no idea how simple this thing is. BackgroundGeolocation is probably ~7000 lines.

It's probably one of the simplest Cordova plugin's you'll ever find; barely more complex than a Hello World.

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

Thanks. Chris - what's the lowest version of Cordova that you believe the plugin will support? Do you believe it will run effectively on my 3.9.1 version ? The Appery team has told me they believe you are requiring 4.x and above? True statement or ??

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

The Android plugin requires Gradle to build. You need minimum Cordova 5.

thanks - Minimum version on IOS then is also Cordova 5 ?

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

iOS is fine with Cordova 4.

Forget about Cordova 3.x. It's not going to work.

Thanks - that's my issue then. I'll need to find an alternative approach to using my existing builder.

PhoneGap build works fine.

(Everything works - except the restart after terminate on the 3.9.1 platform - so it's a bit of a tease then...) Confused then - Phonegap on 3.9.1 should work ?

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

Cordova 3.x doesn't support npm dependencies. If you want to support your own fork of my plugin, go ahead and modify the dependencies in the plugin.xml to the old non-npm style.

The Cordova train has moved along to v6.

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

Happy to do that and thanks for the suggestion. Since I'm an avid learner and a bit green on what the non-npm style might look like - a quick link or suggestion on the best way to pull this off?

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

Seriously, forget about 3.x and target 5.x.
