No Speed or Heading returned for iOS

[mjorrens]

Bug Information

Version Number of Plugin: 4.5.0.6 Device Tested On: iPhone 6S with OS 11.4 Simulator Tested On: Version of VS: 2017 For PC Version of Xamarin: 3.0.0.550 Versions of other things you are using:

Steps to reproduce the Behavior

I am using the sample code that you published for the plug-in. When I go to the tab "Track Movement" on an iOS device (physical iPhone 6S), I get steady position updates but the position.heading and position.speed are always 0. On an Android, these values are correct and non zero based upon my movement.

Also, I am noticing the timestamp for the readings does not have the granularity down to milliseconds.

Expected Behavior_

I would expect to see the heading and speed value be non-zero on iOS as with Android.

I would expect the milliseconds in the timestamp to be non-zero as well (iOS and Android)

Actual Behavior

See above. I can certainly calculate speed based upon long/lat calculations but it would be nice for iOS to mimic how Android is returning these values.

It is possible, It is whatever iOS tells us :(

For heading you have to ensure you turn it on and it is only supported on iOS

[jamesmontemagno]

For heading checkout Xamarin.Essentials and the compass.

Thanks James. Have you seen the timestamp on iOS/Android return milliseconds?
