I’m trying to implement the Background Geolocation.watchPosition. I’ve followed Ionic’s docs and tried Josh Morony’s example https://www.joshmorony.com/adding-background-geolocation-to-an-ionic-2-application/ after that didn’t work…both give the same result.
Watching in the foreground with the Geolocation.watchPosition works as it should. Switching to the BackgroundGeolocation.watchPosition doesn’t.
In Xcode it initiates, logs a couple times and then gives the following messages everytime. Is something missing in the documentation. Or has anyone else seen this/similar?
