Your question

I’m building an app that listens for location updates to trigger an alert when the user enters a defined area.

I want this to work reliably while the app is in the background or the phone is asleep, potentially for hours at a time. I’ve enabled Background Modes → Location Updates.

Is this sufficient to ensure ALL location updates are processed, or do I need a more robust solution (e.g. flutter_background_service )?

Thanks
