[Interest] Location when the App is Killed/Terminated/Suspended

[Manoel Neto]

Hi ,
   I'm building an APP using QT/QML for IOS / Android and need to use
location when the APP is Killed, suspended or terminated. For IOS i
did an Objective C implementation and used
startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges method  from
CLLocationManager class.

Briefly, I extended the QIOSApplicationDelegate to have access to the
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method. There i check the option key "
 UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocationKey" and, if ok, start monitoring
Location using a LocationManager Delegate. The Background App Refresh
is enable for the Location updates to work in the background.

I folow an example code (in IOS) tha works great even when the app is
Killed, suspended or terminated.  The only diference from my QT code
is that in QT i use QIOSApplicationDelegate instead of system delegate
in IOS. But in QT the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions is never called
when the ap is Killed, suspended or terminated.

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
.....
    shareModel = [LocationManager sharedManager];
       if ([launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocationKey]) {
            [shareModel startMonitoringLocation];
       }
 }

Any suggestion?

Best R,
Manoel
