didEnterRegion works in foreground but not background or other VCs

Question

If the app is running and the CLLocationManagerDelegate class is the foreground (i.e. visible) then the didEnterRegions triggers and I get both the NSLog as well as the Aler

Answer 1

You can post a local notification when you didEnterRegion.

This will show an alert-like popup even if you're in the background.

You can do a simple test:

1) Create a Local notification object inside your applicationDidEnterBackground of your app delegate, with any random message and tell the local notification to fire immediately.

2) Press the home button, when you app minimise, you should see a popup.
