Zeph Davies commented on CB-7685:
---------------------------------
What version of WebView do you use?
I have the opposite problem, and it's causing a headache.
I expect (with the plugin BackgroundMode) for locations to continue in the
background.
With the latest WebViews, this does not happen. Instead, the locations timeout.
Can you confirm that this still occurs?
