I have found a fix for this strange bug. We have tested for over 1 week and so far we haven’t see the same bug again. Here is the solution:-
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didEnterRegion:(CLRegion *)region{
NSLog(@"didEnterRegion");
CLLocation * lastLocation = [manager location];
BOOL doesItContainMyPoint;
if(lastLocation==nil)
doesItContainMyPoint = NO;
else{
CLLocationCoordinate2D theLocationCoordinate = lastLocation.coordinate;
CLCircularRegion * theRegion = (CLCircularRegion*)region;
doesItContainMyPoint = [theRegion containsCoordinate:theLocationCoordinate];
}
if(doesItContainMyPoint){
NSString* message = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"You are now in this region:%@",region.identifier];
UIApplicationState state = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] applicationState];
if (state == UIApplicationStateBackground || state == UIApplicationStateInactive)
{
UILocalNotification *notification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
notification.fireDate = [NSDate date];
NSTimeZone* timezone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
notification.timeZone = timezone;
notification.alertBody = message;
notification.alertAction = @"Show";
notification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notification];
}
}
}
I use CLLocation * lastLocation = [manager location];
to get the latest location from the device and use this coordinate to see if it is inside the triggered region with containsCoordinate: method. If it is inside, then only the local notification will trigger.
