Background services for GPS no longer works - even in sample code

Hardware (GPS, accelerometer, etc.)
#1

I have had an app in the iOS and Android market for a long time, background GPS services worked fine (unsupported by Corona, I know) until now.

Updating the app this week, realized the background services no longer work when the app is put into the background. (no blue bar)

I’ve tried about everything I could find including NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription in the build settings.

Then I realized - not even the sample code works shipped in the SDK.

Anyone else running into this? I’ve tried building with 2763, 2731, and 2707

This is for iOS 9.1

The more I investigate this I really think it started with iOS 9.

Corona gang - can you take a look at this and see about implementing into a daily build?

if ([self.locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(setAllowsBackgroundLocationUpdates:)]) { [self.locationManager setAllowsBackgroundLocationUpdates:YES]; }
