I am using CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates() and CLBackgroundActivitySession to receive background location updates. My app has “Always” authorization, but I can not get rid of the top left “Blue bar” in any way except for by manually closing the app (swipe up in multi-app preview view). I have tried setting CLLocationManager.showsBackgroundLocationIndicator = false but it does not make any difference.
How can I get rid of the blue bar in the top left corner?
- My project started from this WWDC23 sample code
- Phone has granted “always” location authorisation through CLLocationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
- Using
LiveConfiguration.default - Has
UIBackgroundModes - locationset in Info.plist - Tested multiple days with a real iPhone 14, iOS 17.2 (although an iPhone SE gen2 iOS 17.2 seems to loose the blue bar after a while)
- I have set
Privacy - Location When In Use Usage DescriptionandPrivacy - Location Always and When In Use Usage Descriptionin Info.plist
