Curious is it possible to send GPS coordinates to the server, when iOS app is in background but background mode is turned on?

I really hoop that this is not possible, why would you, as an user, be able to turnoff background running for an app if it does not effect anything. – rckoenes May 06 '16 at 12:47

Because based on user's background location other users could interact with user with push notification and by tapping popup app could be launched. – János May 06 '16 at 13:14

But the user made a conscious decision to disable background running of apps. And that should be respected and I hope Apple's SDK does just this. – rckoenes May 06 '16 at 13:16

It ssems sending locations in background is possible: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6347503/how-do-i-get-a-background-location-update-every-n-minutes-in-my-ios-application?rq=1 – János May 06 '16 at 13:18

I think you will just need to try it out. The user will first allow you app to track the location in the background. Which gives you app sometime to handle a location update. In this time you could sent to you server. I think that the disable background running only applies to periodically background fetching. Still there is noway to force background running. – rckoenes May 06 '16 at 13:33
