Continuous background update location

Question

I want my app to update location continuous in background. I have implemented below code.

 locationManager.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically =false
 self.locationManager = CLLocationManager()
 locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
 locationManager.delegate = self
 locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBestForNavigation
 locationManager.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates=true
 locationManager.startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges()
 self.locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()

This code manage in appdelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions()

You need to call requestAlwaysAuthorization() to be able to receive location updates even when your app is running in the background. requestWhenInUseAuthorization() only gives you authorisation to receive location updates while your app is running in the foreground.

and add the Location updates in Background Modes in the capabilities list if I remember rightly – Scriptable Oct 16 '18 at 10:00
@JaiminPatel you simply need to change `locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()` to `locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()` – Dávid Pásztor Oct 16 '18 at 10:16
