   > In the error delegate, the plugin call "stopUpdatingLocation". I think there is no reason to do that.
   
   I think this is intentional based on Apple's guidelines on [handling location errors](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocationmanagerdelegate/1423786-locationmanager?language=objc).
   
   > If the user denies your app's use of the location service, this method reports a kCLErrorDenied error. Upon receiving such an error, you should stop the location service.
   
   The code:
   
   https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-geolocation/blob/5957a80f644ac1d8477e501e99f7fa04f64b9a3d/src/ios/CDVLocation.m#L349-L352
   
   follows this suggestion (although a bit too broadly) by stopping the service if the error is not an `kCLErrorLocationUnknown` error. The reason for this "not kCLErrorLocationUnknown" check is because `kCLErrorLocationUnknown` can safely be ignored.
   
   I suspect that you're not receiving `kCLErrorLocationUnknown` here and when the app goes into the background, you're actualyl receiving a different error, likely [kCLErrorDenied](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/clerror/kclerrordenied?language=objc) because you require special permissions for background location access.
