will Location Summary for "Always Allow" location permission shown for iBeaconRegion Monitoring as well in iOS?

179 Views Asked by At

From iOS 13, location permissions are tricky to get "Always Allow" from the user. Till if we managed to get the permission and if we are integrated locationUpdate callbacks, Users will get the below location permission reminder form os with tracked location coordinates. This is happening for GeoFencing a region in CoreLocation.

Will the reminder prompt be shown to the user even if we do Beacon based location monitoring in iOS?(With the blue dots, similar to geofencing).

Basically, will the blue dots be shown for coordinates tracking? or beacon-based tracking/app wake-up as well?

Thanks in Advance,

Starting with iOS 13, the operating system will periodically show a warning dialog to the user with a map plotting the locations where the app obtained a CoreLocation callback in the background. This happens even for apps that only use CoreLocation beacon APIs even if they do not access latitude and longitude.

This can be alarming to the user and potentially misleading, because for many beacon use cases the app has no idea of the user’s geographic location.
