          What sort of location tracking are you using?

                  var gLocationManagerWM: CLLocationManager = CLLocationManager()

                  var gStartLocationWM: CLLocation!

                  var gSpeedWM: CLLocationSpeed = CLLocationSpeed()

                  var gMyDistanceFilterWM:Double=10

              ---

                      self.gLocationManagerWM.delegate = self

                      self.gLocationManagerWM.requestAlwaysAuthorization()

                      self.gLocationManagerWM.startUpdatingLocation()

                      self.gLocationManagerWM.distanceFilter = self.gMyDistanceFilterWM

                      self.gLocationManagerWM.activityType = .fitness

                      self.gLocationManagerWM.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates=true

                      self.gLocationManagerWM.startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges()

                      self.gLocationManagerWM.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest

                 

               

              thank you

                  The significant location change API should resume (or relaunch) your app in the background when there has been a significant location change.  I don’t have a lot of experience with this myself but I’m pretty sure it works because lots of developers are using it.

                  How are you testing this?
