    iOS Question Manually set location in Simulator to trigger geofences?

    iOS Question How to restore geofences if app got swipe-killed?

    I'm experimenting a bit with geofences on iOS (related thread) and have a related question. Looking at the related thread, Erel says: As I understand it, this means that swipe-killing an app also removes all geofences the OS kept looking for. Reasonable, but how can we enable them again? Is...
