Testing Device: iPhone 5 (iOS 7)

I have an app that uses RegionMonitoring and updateLocation. If a region is entered, didEnterRegion<

Answer 1

In background timer will not run, so here your timer object will not respond, You need to create background task handler, check comment of below link,

How to run the timer in background of the application?

In background if you want to continue location service than you need to set pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically flag, flag info on

pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically flag info

  if ([self.locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically)]) {
  self.locationManager.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically = NO;
  }

check my comment on Location service going to "Inactive" state in iPhone 5

For location manager there below are the CLLocationManagerDelegate methods for location update,

   - (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation
       fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation [Deprecated in __IPHONE_6_0]

  - (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
 didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations __OSX_AVAILABLE_STARTING(__MAC_NA,__IPHONE_6_0);

Where you found

  - (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation ??
