Thank you for the feedback! **Re. W3C specifications**, I have 2 comments: 1) why do we need this plugin at all? I have tried to access navigator.geolocation on a basic Hello World app *without* this plugin on both Android and iOS and the API was available and functioning on both. 2) If we do have a plugin, why not leaving the basic W3C-compatible API as default and allowing optional, extended features? This would make the plugin more useful than a copy of the standard navigator.geolocation ? **Re. Background location** , tested on iOS 15.8.5: I receive and process location updates even if the app is in background, as documented [here](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocationmanager/allowsbackgroundlocationupdates), but *not* when the screen is off. My tests were relatively short, all <10 minutes, which is my use case, but I can check what happens with longer running sessions.
