background: true Has no effect about geolocation HOT 6 OPEN

I Have also tried to set app into background and change location on emulator and after that app Back to foreground. But there is only one location on Result when I get location updates. How often plugin should get location when on background?
Tested with android. Also with real phone. Locationupdates function seems to work when app is in foreground

I now use this https://pub.dev/packages/background_locator

from geolocation.

ok thanks, I will check that plugin.

background: true does not work unfortunately. (I have the background capability switched on in Xcode).

from geolocation.

For background processing on IOS, it works when adding:
locationManager.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = true

in:
geolocation/ios/Classes/Location/LocationClient.swift

class LocationClient : NSObject, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
.......
.......
override init() {
    super.init()
    locationManager.delegate = self
    locationManager.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = true   // <---
  }

and adding in:
ios/Runner/Info.plist

<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
	<array>
		<string>location</string>
	</array>

@jeanantoine So you are suggesting that the plugin has a bug and needs updating as well as documentation?
