To subscribe to location updates, you can use the CLLocationUpdate and CLMonitor objects introduced by the CoreLocation team. These objects present an async sequence interface that makes it easy to get latitude and longitude updates whenever the device moves or state change events whenever spatial conditions you describe become satisfied or unsatisfied.
Before you can use these APIs, you need to get permission from each person using your app. CoreLocation authorization API is how you do this, but in Swift, it can get pretty complicated. The session "What’s new in location authorization" provides a detailed explanation on how to handle this.
For more information, you can refer to the session What’s new in location authorization.
