react-native-background-geolocation: [IOS]: The plugin doesn't start to record a location when the device is moving and the app is terminated

Plugin version: 4.4.4
Platform: iOS
OS version: 15.1.1
Device manufacturer / model: iPhone 12
React Native version (react-native -v): 0.66.1
Plugin config

    const config = {
      locationAuthorizationRequest: 'Always',
      desiredAccuracy: BackgroundGeolocation.DESIRED_ACCURACY_HIGH,
      distanceFilter: 10,
      stopTimeout: 4,
      showsBackgroundLocationIndicator: false,
      stationaryRadius: 200,
      preventSuspend: false,
      heartbeatInterval: 120,
      enableHeadless: true,
      foregroundService: true,
      stopOnTerminate: false,
      startOnBoot: true,
      debug: false,
      logLevel: BackgroundGeolocation.LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE,
      maxDaysToPersist: 2,
      url: `${BASE_URL}${API.ROUTE}`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
      },
      autoSync: true,
    };
    
    const state = await BackgroundGeolocation.getState();

    if (!state.enabled) {
      BackgroundGeolocation.setConfig(config, (state) => {
        if (!state.enabled) {
          BackgroundGeolocation.start();
        }
      });
    } else {
      BackgroundGeolocation.ready(config, (state) => {
        if (!state.enabled) {
          BackgroundGeolocation.start();
        }
      });
    }

Expected Behavior

When the device is moving the plugin re-awake and starting record a location.

Actual Behavior

The plugin doesn’t re-awake and not starting record a location when the app is terminated and the device is moving more 200 meters and and if the app is not being used for a while (more then 1 hour about).

Steps to Reproduce

Open the app
Terminate the app
In one hour or more start moving

Context

In the ios emulator the app works perfectly, both when it is in the foreground and in the background. On a real physical device the plugin works perfect only when the app is in the foreground or if I terminated the app and start moving at once. If preventSuspend set true the plugin works exactly in the same way as false. If the debug param is true location tracking will work correctly all the time, the plugin re-awake and starting record locations even I haven’t opened the app 2 and more days.

Maybe it because push notifications re-awake the app

They are not “push” notifications, they are “local” notifications. These debug notifications are emitted only when the app is already alive.

I suggest you install the SampleApp and try it. The Advanced App has a settings screen where you can turn off Debug mode with a switch.
