Native SDK

Native Background Geolocation SDK

Use the Background Geolocation SDK natively in your iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) apps. Both languages share the same core — TSLocationManager — so the algorithms, configuration model, and behavior are identical across platforms.

What you get

  • Motion-detection state machine — accelerometer/gyro/magnetometer-driven; activates GPS only when the device moves
  • Survives termination & reboot — stopOnTerminate: false + startOnBoot: true everywhere
  • SQLite persist-first HTTP queue — durable retry with exponential back-off; works offline indefinitely
  • Unlimited geofencing — paginates past OS limits (~20 iOS / ~100 Android)
  • Identical API surface on iOS and Android — same config keys, same events, same algorithms
