Description
We've seen intermittent geo tracking when enabled on IOS 8. As it turns out there is a slightly new security model that we are not adhering to.
When setting up a back ground locationManager we need to do a couple things:
1.) make sure the locationManager has a strong reference
2.) If IOS 8 we call [self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization]; to get the new authorization alert dialog which the user must agree too.
3.) And finally we need to add a new key "NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription" to the BridgeIt-Info.plist which specifies the subtext for the dialog in 2.)
Once these steps are complete the background service for location properly runs.
