Relaxing the accuracy level (both for horizontal accuracy and received interval) for room and house

[jeden]

If I call

LocationManager.shared.locateFromGPS(.continous, accuracy: .block, activity: .otherNavigation) { result in
  ...
}

multiple times at different times, and I start location tracking on each handler, only the first receives updates. The 2nd start receiving updates only if the first one is stopped.

For this to happen, I delayed the 2nd call to locateFromGPS by 10 seconds (using DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter())

If I replace .continous with .oneShot it works fine instead.

Is it supposed to work this way, or is it a bug?

Same issue if start continous request and ask for oneShot - OneShot will be waiting for location update based on continous request options

@abakhtin did you resolve this issue?

I'm seeing the same. Any luck?

Also, LocationManager.shared.locateFromGPS(.continous, accuracy: .house, activity: .fitness, timeout: .absolute(30)) can have a pretty long delay under good wifi/cell conditions if only called once

I tried to reproduce the issue but it seems to works fine:

   r1 = LocationManager.shared.locateFromGPS(.continous, accuracy: .block, activity: .otherNavigation) { result in
            print("#1 -> \(result)")
        }
        
        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 5) {
            self.r2 = LocationManager.shared.locateFromGPS(.continous, accuracy: .city, activity: .otherNavigation) { result in
                print("#2 -> \(result)")
            }
        }
        
        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 60) {
            self.r1?.stop()
            debugPrint("-----------------------------------> STOP FIRST")
        }

I can receive both r1 and r2 requests.
I think the accuracy level house and room are to strict to be satisfied easily from the GPS receiver in normal conditions.

I've relaxed these parameters to the following levels:

for meters

public var value: CLLocationAccuracy {
            switch self {
            case .any:
                return CLLocationAccuracyAccuracyAny
            case .city:
                return 5000
            case .neighborhood:
                return 1000
            case .block:
                return 100
            case .house:
                return 60 // from 15 mt
            case .room:
                return 25 // from 5 mt
            case .custom(let value):
                return value
            }
        }

and interval:

  public var interval: TimeInterval {
            switch self {
            case .city:
                return 600.0
            case .neighborhood:
                return 300.0
            case .block:
                return 60.0
            case .house:
                return 40.0 // from 15secs
            case .room:
                return 20.0 // from 5secs
            default:
                return TimeInterval.greatestFiniteMagnitude
            }
        }

Since the next update.
