[CLOSED] [iOS] Location publishes cease after losing WIFI connection and don't restart again

Question

Issue by sumnerboy12 from Tuesday Jan 14, 2014 at 06:36 GMT Originally opened as https://github.com/binarybucks/mqttitude/issues/266

Not sure what exactly is going on here but since the latest version on iOS I have noticed that when the phone moves out of my home WIFI range and onto 3G, location publishes stop - all kinds. Even when the phone arrives home and goes back on WIFI nothing happens.

But if I then manually hit the publish button in the app (blue pin) then all of a sudden I get a load of messages dumped to my broker - enter/leave events for home, and for another region I have configured for work.

This used to work on the previous version.

Kind of random behaviour here: - when location publish is in "manual" mode and a geo-fence area is defined (waypoint+radius) nothing is being published going in/out of the area, and the area in this case is also Wifi covered (home, office) - when location publish is in one of "auto" modes sometimes going out of Wifi coverage gives no publishing for the rest of the day.

I'll try to better observe the real behaviour but I suspect that when I'm leaving a Wifi covered area with MQTTitude stopped and I launch it while driving, it works well. I'll do a few tests.

Thanks for the great app anyway!!!
