Expected Behavior

When geofence “A” is removed and a new one “B” with a similar location but different ID is created, entering the location should trigger an event on geofence “B”, not “A”.

Actual Behavior

When geofence “A” is removed and a new one “B” with a similar location but different ID is created, entering the location sometimes triggers an event on geofence “A”. This event fails with the log message ERROR [GeofencingService handleGeofencingEvent] Failed to find geofence record in database:. No event is triggered on geofence “B”.

In the logs shared below, geofence “A” has an id ending in NQ== and geofence “B” has one ending in in NA==

I’ve noticed the following pattern in the logs that appears relevant:

08-04 15:12:41.467 INFO [GeofenceDAO destroy]
  ✅  MTE3MTA2MzIxNQ==
// ... a few lines later ...
08-04 15:12:41.479 DEBUG [TSGeofenceManager d] ℹ️  Persist monitored geofences: [MTE3MTA2MzIxNQ==]

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a geofence some distance away (e.g. 300 - 500m)
  2. Remove the geofence, and replace it with a new one having a similar location (< 100m away from the first)
  3. Enter the geofence

Context

In our product, when geofences overlap, we want to prompt the user as to which action to take rather than taking action automatically. This requires us to 1) track which fences overlap, and 2) replace overlapping pairs/groups of geofences with single geofences, using metadata to track which fences have been “combined” in this way.
