didupdatelocation not called repetedly in ios 7.1

Question

I am developing an application with location and getting coordinates successfully then i am calling the webservice to store the coordinates, but when i use ios 7.1 device then didupdatelocation method is not called repeadly. Here is my code

if ([CLLocationManager locationServicesEnabled])
    {
        self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
        self.locationManager.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically=NO;

        self.locationManager.delegate = self;
        self.locationManager.desiredAccuracy=kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
        [self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
    }

and this

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations
{
    if (UIApplication.sharedApplication.applicationState == UIApplicationStateActive)
    {
        CLLocationCoordinate2D center;

        center.latitude = [[locations objectAtIndex:([locations count]-1)] coordinate].latitude;
        center.longitude = [[locations objectAtIndex:([locations count]-1)] coordinate].longitude;

        _point = [[MKPointAnnotation alloc] init];
        _point.coordinate = center;

        if(appDelegate.strVehicleType!=nil)
        {
            [self checkInternet];
        }

        NSLog(@"Changed");

        [_locationManager stopUpdatingLocation];
    }
    else
    {
        CLLocationCoordinate2D center;

        center.latitude = [[locations objectAtIndex:([locations     count]-1)] coordinate].latitude;
        center.longitude = [[locations objectAtIndex:([locations     count]-1)] coordinate].longitude;

        _point = [[MKPointAnnotation alloc] init];

        _point.coordinate = center;

        if(appDelegate.strVehicleType!=nil)
        {
            [self checkInternet];
        }

        NSLog(@"Location Changed in Background")
        ;
        [_locationManager stopUpdatingLocation];
    }
}

I have tried above code the location updates repetedly in ios 6 and ios 7 but not updating in 7.1, So please anyone have idea where is the issue? or is their any different method to use.

Thanx in advance.

If you are using simulator for test than please reset simulator. if you are using device then delete app from it.

Add #import <CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h> Framework in .h file

add delegate CLLocationManagerDelegate in .h file

In viewDidload put below code

if ([CLLocationManager locationServicesEnabled])
{
    locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
    locationManager.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically=YES;

    locationManager.delegate = self;
    locationManager.desiredAccuracy=kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
    [locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}

====== Then

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations
{
    if (UIApplication.sharedApplication.applicationState == UIApplicationStateActive)
    {

        NSLog(@"Active");

    }
    else
    {
        NSLog(@"Non Active");
    }
}

run app, it will give you alert 'Appname' Would like to use your current location", press "Ok"

If you are using simulator for test then please take below step:

From toolBar of Simulator Debug > Location > Apple

After taking these steps simulator change location and method will call.

this code works like charm in ios 6 and ios 7 but not working in ios7.1, also used different methods to start location update, given the distance filter, but still same issue... – Jiten Parmar Apr 10 '14 at 12:44
I am testing in iOS 7.1 and its working. Please try your code i just copy your code and its working fine... – Vishal Apr 10 '14 at 12:50
Please try after reset your simulator. – Vishal Apr 10 '14 at 12:53

i have used your code it only called 4 times in my iPod. – Jiten Parmar Apr 10 '14 at 13:15
The app is in the active state after some time it's called didfailwith error delegate method, but now not calling just stopped called didupdatelocations... – Jiten Parmar Apr 10 '14 at 13:22
Change code From self.locationManager.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically=NO; To self.locationManager.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically=YES; – Vishal Apr 10 '14 at 13:48

Yes, because the Background App Refresh is OFF in your Device So...

Go to General > "Background App Refresh" > Turn ON.

and General > "Background App Refresh" > your app > Turn ON.

Solve your Problem
