UNLocationNotificationTrigger not triggering

Question

I'm trying to create a notification which triggers when entering a region using UNNotificationLocationTrigger. I implemented it like this:

let destination = //destination is added by user through interface//

let notification = UNMutableNotificationContent()
notification.title = "You've reached your destination"
notification.body = "Some"
notification.sound = UNNotificationSound.default()

let destRegion = CLCircularRegion(center: destination, radius: 1000.0, identifier: "DistanceToDestination")
destRegion.notifyOnEntry = true
let trigger = UNLocationNotificationTrigger(region: destRegion, repeats: false)

let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "destAlarm", content: notification, trigger: trigger)
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request, withCompletionHandler: { error in
     if error == nil {
           print("Successful notification")
     } else {
           print(error ?? "Error")
     }
})

I tried it on a real device and walked around. It worked 2 times perfectly when I entered the region (I checked it with a map and region as circle overlay in map). But after that all other attempts failed.

EDIT: For those reading the comments. It's not working again. So it seems to be pretty inconsistent. If somebody know if it's a bug or know how to fix it I would be very grateful.

Answer 1

First of all, you should call locationmanager.startupdatinglocation Second of all, you should change the trigger so that repeats = true
