Location Update while app is terminated

Question

I wanted to get user location updates when the app gets terminated.

What I tried: In AppDelegate:

var locationManger: CLLocationManager!

In the applicationDidFinishLaunching

setupLocationManager()

And also in AppDelegate:

@nonobjc func applicationWillTerminate(application: UIApplication) {
        locationManger.startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges()
    }
func setupLocationManager(){
        locationManger = CLLocationManager()
        locationManger.delegate = self
        locationManger.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
        locationManger.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyHundredMeters
    }

    func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
        if UIApplication.shared.applicationState == .inactive{
            let notification = UNMutableNotificationContent()
            notification.title = "Location Update"
            notification.body = "updated in background"

            let notificationTrigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger(timeInterval: 5, repeats: false)
            let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "locationUpdate", content: notification, trigger: notificationTrigger)

            UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request, withCompletionHandler: nil)
        }

    }

But i dont get a push notification... Any ideas? Referring to this post: IOS Getting location updates when app terminated without using significantChange it should be possible

Yes if you mean in Project Settings -> Capabilities -> Background Mode Location Updates — Markus G., Sep 08 '17 at 07:52

@markus-g : As per the link you shared it looks like it is possible to get background location update if app is terminated. Please decline the accepted answer as it is wrong — Sandeep Bhandari, Sep 08 '17 at 08:33

where to find this window? – Markus G. Sep 08 '17 at 07:55
This is Edit Scheme. So, on top left of Xcode you will see target, from there you can select edit scheme from drop down – prabodhprakash Sep 08 '17 at 08:00
