Geolocation Plugin + BackgroundFetch Plugin = not working

cordova
1

Hello,

I’m using these two plugins to update the location of my users in background
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-geolocation
https://github.com/christocracy/cordova-plugin-background-fetch

The Geolocation plugin works well when the application is executed in foreground, but when i simulate a background fetch from Xcode (debug>Simulate Background Fetch), the plugin return the error code 2 corresponding to PositionError.POSITION_UNAVAILABLE.

Here is my Background task:

      // This is in $ionicPlatform.ready callback

      var Fetcher = window.BackgroundFetch;

      Fetcher.configure(function() {
        console.log('BackgroundFetch initiated');
        
        GeolocationService.updateLocation().then(function(coords){
          console.log("BackgroundFetch: Location OK");
          API.heartBeat().then(function(){
            console.log("Heartbeat sent");
            Fetcher.finish();
          },function(){
            console.log("Heartbeat failed");
            Fetcher.finish();
          });
        },function(){
          console.log("BackgroundFetch: Location failed");
          Fetcher.finish();
        })
      },function() {
        console.log('- BackgroundFetch failed');
      },{
        stopOnTerminate: false
      });

“API.heartBeat” is just a promise that send the location of the user to my remote API

And the method updateLocation of my GeolocationService :

      updateLocation: function(){
        var def = $q.defer();

        $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
          $cordovaGeolocation.getCurrentPosition({
            timeout : 10000,
            enableHighAccuracy: false,
            maximumAge: 5 * 60 * 1000
          }).then(function (position) {
            console.log("Position retreived: lat:" + position.coords.latitude +", lng:" + position.coords.longitude);
            $rootScope.lat  = position.coords.latitude
            $rootScope.lng = position.coords.longitude

            $rootScope.geolocationDeny = false;
            def.resolve({lat: $rootScope.lat, lng: $rootScope.lng})


          }, function(error) {
            console.error("Geolocation Service Error: " + error.code);
            if(error.code == 1){
              $rootScope.geolocationDeny = true;
            }
            def.reject();
          });
        });

        return def.promise;

      }

I hope someone has already faced this issue…

Thanks
