Answer 1

i just found answer in stackoverflow from this link:-

How do I get a background location update every n minutes in my iOS application?

Found a solution to implement this with the help of the Apple Developer Forums. I did the following:

• Specify location background mode
• Use an NSTimer in the background by using UIApplication:beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler:
• In case n is smaller than UIApplication:backgroundTimeRemaining it does works just fine, in case n is larger, the location manager should be enabled (and disabled) again before there is no time remaining to avoid the background task being killed. This does work since location is one of the three allowed types of background execution.

Note : Did loose some time by testing this in the simulator where it doesn't work, works fine on my phone.

在backround中获取当前位置在plist中指定位置背景模式。
