Hi. It's temporary implementation while new version of library isnt published. It works only with DISTANCE provider. Improved version was merged in https://github.com/mauron85/background-geolocation-ios

It starts tracking after termination when phone location is changed significantly. I think system uses mobile network so you should move physically to test it on real device.

I want to post location updates on every location update in terminated app state

We do the same. It should work second time too.

Thanks for reply!
I don't have much experience with obj-c, but we're trying to send remote notification whenever user enters specific location, even if app is terminated. I've tested many times, but on terminated state app doesnt post any locations to server, which should post notifications. Even when trying to debug app while app terminated, it just doesn't enters background state. Maybe you have any suggestions how to get this functionality?

Please add BackgroundGeolocation.configure object in the issue description.
How many meters do you move a device during testing?
