The plugin turns the app into an location tracking app for the time it runs in the background. ## Using the plugin The plugin comes without a js interface. Simply add the plugin to your project and the app will run while in background mode. **iOS 5-6**
The app still runs in background, even if the location service is not active. **iOS 7**
The location service needs to be enabled. ## Quirks ### The app crashes under iOS If the app crashes after installing the plugin, make sure that your `*-Info.plist` is valid. Do to some bugs in cordova or Plugman please reset all occurences like ```xml NSMainNibFile ``` into ```xml NSMainNibFile ```
