Callback method inconsistent both in Android/IOS #193

Open venkateshironman opened 3 years ago

venkateshironman commented 3 years ago

We have configuerd our App with background_locator 1.2.2 + to record the lat/long every 2 mins (once) and then sending it to the backend inside callback method. But few times its not sending every 2 minutes instead it sends any time between 8 to 15 minutes particularly when the App is in the Background state. The interesting behavior is during this inconsistent interval time between 8 to 15 mins it is recording lat/longs locally in small intervals, every few seconds and then it is sending the data in bulk to the backend after a period of time which is not what it should be doing. Have the Flutter Development team encountered such issue in the past? What is the solution you recommend?

Thanks in advance

Hi @venkateshironman

Thank you for opening an issue.

Some people had similar problem with latest version of android, so I have released a new version with a fix.

Please use the latest version of the library (1.4.0), the problem should be solved.
