                        AllowBackgroundUpdates = true,
                        DeferLocationUpdates = true,
                        DeferralDistanceMeters = 1,
                        DeferralTime = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1),

@karant0007 I see that there are a lot of complains that GPS doesn't work properly on iOS 12. I wonder if this is the same issue. Here is something to try: https://www.imobie.com/support/fix-ios-12-gps-issues.htm

Hi @vecalion Thanks for reply is there any way to handle this programatically?

Hi @karant0007 the function MoveToRegion works for you or is just the location change ?

Hi @karant0007 I experienced the same issue when listening from location changes on IOS 12.1 simulator. But when I run it on my phone with IOS 12.1 the PositionChanged gets triggered as expected.

So I think the issue is on the simulator only.
