Region monitoring current location doesn't notify on exit

Question

I\'m trying to test region monitoring, for that I\'m getting current location like this:

- (void)startLocationTracking
{
    CLLocationManager *locationManager =         


        

Answer 1

The most satisfactory answer to the delegates methods (didEnterRegion and didExitRegion) not being called is, apple docs says you will be notified after 3 to 5 minutes after the entry or exit, but in actual testing what I found is you have to wait for approx 7 to 8 minutes.

I tested it for 10 to 15 times and my region radius was around 80 meters. I was scratching my head to see what went wrong. I left the simulator open with the location tracking on (Used a gpx file for location simulation). After 8 minutes didExitRegion was called.

Also if you want to do this in background, you must enable background modes on your target.
