  2. passiveTracking on iOS

Tracking profiles aim to simplify the Woosmap Geofencing SDK integration.

The concept of Tracking profile and the difference between each profile is explained in the Tracking profiles documentation

Start/Stop a tracking profile

Once you have initialized the plugin and the user has authorized location permissions, you can start tracking the user’s location.

To start tracking, call:

JavaScript
        WoosmapGeofencing.startTracking('liveTracking')
    .then((result: string) => {
        console.log(value);
    })
    .catch((error: any) => {
        alert('message: ' + error.message);
    });

To stop tracking, call:

JavaScript
        WoosmapGeofencing.stopTracking()
    .then((value: any) => {
        console.log(value);
    })
    .catch((error: any) => {
        alert('message: ' + error.message);
    });

Method startTracking accepts only following tracking profiles:

passiveTracking on iOS

If you enable passive tracking on the iOS App, it will use all 20 region slots (CLRegion) assigned by the system to the application.
If you plan to add another plugin that also relies on CLRegion geofencing, the SDK allows you to free up to 3 slots for use by a third-party plugin.
This can be configured as shown below.

While initializing the plugin:

JavaScript
        var woosmapSettings: WoosmapGeofencingOptions = {
  privateKeyWoosmapAPI: "<<WOOSMAP_KEY>>",
  trackingProfile: "liveTracking",
  protectedRegionSlot: 2
};

WoosmapGeofencing.initialize(woosmapSettings)
  .then((value: string) => {
    console.log(value);
  })
  .catch((error: any) => {
    alert('message: ' + error.message);
  });

Or via a function call later:

JavaScript
        WoosmapGeofencing .setProtectedRegionSlot(3)
