I'm building an iPhone app which uses the Cordova geolocation functionality. In particular I'm using the watchPosition to continously track the device's position which works quite well. The problem I've encountered is when the app is paused, e.g. when the "Lock"-button is pressed. This causes the tracking to stop.
When reading through Cordova's docs I found this: "Under iOS 5, if you want your app to still run when the device is locked, you will have to disable multi-tasking (UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend - YES) for your app."
http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.4.0/cordova_events_events.md.html#pause
Is this setting possible to change in Icenium?
Thanks in advance

Hello Mathias,
There is an option for iOS in the Info.plist that you can specify and declare that your app needs to receive location change notifications in the background. We would expose the background settings for iOS in our upcoming release scheduled for this week.
The other iOS dependent setting you mention is not exposed and has to be manually added to the Info.plist, which Icenium currently does not expose for direct editing. We plan to expose this configuration file in one of our next updates of the product. For the time being, you can download the .ipa file generated from the Icenium build and following the instructions in this stackoverflow thread, re-sign the application after you manually modify the Info.plist.
All the best,
