iOS location services not returning co-ordinates after some time in background mode

Question

Done with the setting up the required pre-requisites. set distance filter , accuracy filter and using start updating locations. Able to receive location co-ordinates once moved to background for some time say 10 -15 minutes. Later Didreceivelocation updates not returning any co-ordinates even after the device is moved beyond the provided distance filter. But when app brought back to foreground, it returns location co-ordinates. Any solution to receive location co-ordinates when ever the user moves to set distance filter irrespective of the app being in foreground or background.

Any way to keep the app to behave as always run in foreground even though app is in background mode?

I think you have to look at this answer to make sure you've set up everything right:

Put a code in that view controller

$if ([self.locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(setAllowsBackgroundLocationUpdates:)]) { [self.locationManager setAllowsBackgroundLocationUpdates:YES]; }
