To wake up an app in the background, you can utilize Core Location services. When an app is terminated or suspended, Core Location keeps track of each outstanding API object, such as CL service sessions or live updates. When new information is ready for delivery and the app's authorization allows it, Core Location will resume or relaunch the app into the background. This ensures that the app can continue to perform tasks like tracking a workout even if it was previously terminated.
