This message does not come from background-geolocation. I must be coming from one of your other plugins.

Open your app in XCode and observe the Signing & Capabilities -> Background Modes section. It should look like this:

Did you follow the Capacitor Setup instructions in the README?

[riderx]

@christocracy thanks for the quick reply, i followed the doc in your module, and this is a fresh start app from blank with only your module, maybe that not working with latest capacitor 2.4.6 ?

[christocracy]

Have you opened your app in XCode to verify the Background Capabilities are set according to my screenshot above.

I'm sure the plugin works in latest Capacitor. Have you tried it?

[riderx]

Yes i have the same :)

I use your plugin since 5 years, in my old company You2you, i had many issue comming from my side, but i don't find a way to fix that one alone !

[christocracy]

Looks good to me.

[riderx]

@christocracy so i still have the issue !

I can confirm I too have the warning with Capacitor v3, having just installed everything for the first time fresh and up to date.

related to the encoding here maybe?

cordova-background-geolocation-lt/plugin.xml

Line 30 in 351bfc4

<preference name="BACKGROUND_MODE_LOCATION" default="&lt;string&gt;location&lt;/string&gt;" />

[christocracy]

Ignore. Capacitor cannot handle these <preference> values and cannot automatically add the UIBackgroundModes. Add ing the required UIBackgroundModes is detailed in the Capacitor Setup.
