6 years ago Are you seeing your app boot and hanging at splash-screen periodically?
I'm experiencing this myself on iOS 11.1.2 / iPhone X. If this occurs, you will miss tracking for periods. These splash-screen hangs don't seem to occur on my iPhone 6s.
I'm erasing my iPhone 6s to do some further testing alongside the iPhone X to verify.
I'm thinking this is a Cordova issue related to apps booting in the background.
I'm also seeing a large number of app crashes (not related to the plugin):

When running in iOS, after some time (it can take hours or some days after the app was started and then put in the background) the app stops geolocating. We could see this because while other (non iOS devices) continue to POST to our endpoint, the iOS device running the same version of our app (i.e. same config) stops updating its location. This has happened multiple times during the last weeks.
Your Environment
cordova -v): 7.1.0cordova platform ls): 4.5.3Plugin config
Expected Behavior
I expect the app to keep tracking the device indefinitely either when in foreground or background, since the app never calls the plugin to stop doing so.
Actual Behavior
The app stops INSERTing locations (and therefore POSTing them to our endpoint) unexpectedly after some short time (hours - days). Note: We have detected that after this "interruption" happens, when we try to open the app, it hangs on the splash screen and we have to close it and reopen it to make it work again. At this point, the plugin starts working as expected.
Steps to Reproduce
Nothing is needed to reproduce the bug. It happens "by itself".
Context
Track the device constantly without it being interrupted in iOS devices
Debug logs
Note how after 2017-11-25 23:45:50.813, the plugin doesn't have any logs until today, after we opened, closed, and reopened the app (see "Actual Behavior")
EDIT: I forgot to mention, that I also add an HTTP header as follows.
PLUGIN_CONFIGURATIONis a constant with the contents that I mention above.
