Make geolocation work when application is closed. #16

Open sencode opened 4 years ago

sencode commented 4 years ago

Currently geolocation tracking works when the app is running in the foreground or background.

  1. It is preferable to have the geolocation tracking run even when the app is closed on both Android and iOS.

  2. If the patient leaves the geofence, can the app notify the server API even when the app is closed?

  3. If the patient leaves the geofence, can the app notify the user even when the app is closed?

@Senthil Nachimuthu this is great. comment from @Debjyoti "Yes, if the objective is to not do all of the geofencing related things in the cloud, then this is the way to go"

Senthil Nachimuthu: this is great. they both comply with our licenses do they have a plugin for Vue.js or is it easy to integrate their Javascript in Vue.js?

Avinash Kumar: easy to integrate and i have seen it being used on one indian govt. website also (unable to recall the link)
