Changing the service status slider

EdG10 years ago

Instead of the service status slider in the iOS version, it has been requested (to me) that it is changed to something that the users do not turn on and off, but instead is turned on and off for them between 2 specified times (these times never change, so they can be hard coded).

Does anyone know how to automatically turn on the service?

Thanks

I don't think it's possible to schedule background tasks in iOS without special permissions.

One option I can think of is to start service when user opens the app for the first time and then ignore location updates if it's not in specified time interval.

Hey Anton,

Is there a way that the service is always enabled without manually toggling it after it's turned on initially? That is even after the device has been rebooted? It seems that the service stops running after a certain amount of inactivity as well?

Thanks for the insight.

No, unfortunately it's not possible. There are too many limitations for Apple on what the app can do.
