ios – Updating Location in Swift Every 5 Minutes

I’m working on an iOS application using Swift, and I need to regularly update the user’s location every 5 minutes in the background. I’m currently using Core Location for handling location services.

Here’s a simplified version of what I have so far:
import CoreLocation

class LocationManager: NSObject, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
var locationManager = CLLocationManager()

override init() {
    super.init()
    locationManager.delegate = self
    locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
    locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters
    locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
    // Other setup for background location updates?
}

func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
    // Handle updated location
}

// Other location manager delegate methods...

// My question is here: How can I ensure location updates every 5 minutes in the background?

}
I’ve successfully set up location updates using the above code, but I’m unsure about the best approach to trigger updates every 5 minutes, especially when the app is in the background.

Here are a few specific questions I have:

What’s the best practice for scheduling location updates in the background every 5 minutes?
Do I need to make use of background tasks or a different approach?
Are there any specific considerations or configurations I need to set to optimize power usage?
Any guidance or code examples would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I looked into using the scheduledTimer method to trigger location updates every 5 minutes but realized that this doesn’t work well when the app is in the background.
