How can I silently record location in the background, beyond permissions

To silently record location in the background, beyond permissions, you need to consider the new updates in location authorization as discussed in the session "What’s new in location authorization" from WWDC 2024. Here are some key points:

1. CL Service Sessions: You can use CL service sessions to assert your app's continued interest in its authorization goal. This helps in maintaining location tracking even when the app is in the background. CoreLocation won't ask users to adjust your app's authorization level while it's in the background, but it can restore authorization when the app comes back to the foreground if needed.

2. Session Lifecycle: It's important to tie the session life directly to the feature span. This means holding sessions into the background works even if the app is later suspended or terminated. CoreLocation will resume or relaunch the app into the background when new information is ready for delivery and the app's authorization allows it.

3. Explicit Service Sessions: Starting this year, always authorization will only be effective when you hold an explicit service session, and you can only start holding one when your app is in the foreground. This means you need to proactively manage these sessions to ensure continuous location tracking.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the session What’s new in location authorization (09:25) which discusses session lifecycle and how to manage location authorization effectively.
