Expected Behavior

when the application has stable network connection then it sync location to configured url with every entry it gets from device and lock any duplicate entry in SQlite

Actual Behavior

while testing the application in release mode we have encounter an problem where we get multiple records with same (latitude, longtitude and timestamp ) in database and this problem occurs when the user is switching the internet connection on every 100-200 meter walk like user walk 200 meter with cellular connection on and after 200 meter walk it off . this process is repeated 4-5 times .

Steps to Reproduce

1. just try switching between cellular network repeatedly (if anyone face the same and resolved it please let me know )

Context

we want to track the person location

Debug logs

As im tested this in release mode so i didn't get any logs

The plug-in emits an onProviderChange event each time the location provider changes. The plug-in also records a location with event: “providerchange". Some apps like to know where/when a user might have disabled location-services.

this can be disabled (see api docs Config.disableProviderChangeRecord).

Okay i got it what you are trying to say just tell me if i'm not getting it wrong let i switch off the internet at 9:15:00am till 9:25:00am then it has to record the data when the internet connection is switched like 9:15:00am only and not for whole time till the connection is switched of RIGHT? ONLY 9:15:00am record has to come twice not the records from 9:15:00am to 9:25:00am CORRECT ME IF I'm WRONG
