Location Paused Message

[fozzarelo]

The app seems to be tracking fine for a while. After some inactivity I get a "Location Updated Paused" Notification, and then no more updates.
By the looks of it. My CLLocationManager is pausing after 10-20 minutes of inactivity as described in:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17484352/iphone-gps-in-background-never-resumes-after-pause.

My questions:

• Am I on the right track?
• Is there a way to prevent the pause from ever coming on? I can handle inactivity on my own.

** I know this is an apple core issue more that yours. Just wondering if you guys found a way around it.

In the original react-native-background-geolocation (of which, this project is a fork from over two years ago), you don't have to worry about pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically. Mine uses its own motion-detection-based system, where you simply provide a stopTimeout.

However, if you really do wish to completely disable the stop-detection system, you're free to set pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically: false and location-services are going to remain on forever, until you explicitly tell it to #stop or #changePace(false)

@fozzarelo I read the stackoverflow issue you've posted and it might be the same issue.

Currently pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically is hardcoded to YES in.

You can try to set NO or even add configure option. Also PR will be welcome.

Ok sounds good. I'll give it a try.
