I managed to successfully register a region or monitoring, I know this because the method was launched didStartMonitoringForRegion.
I have a simple test application with one MKMapViewwhere I can see my current location, I also have my region drawn on the map as a red circle so that I can "physically" see at what point I enter or exit this region. In the methods didEnterRegionand didExitRegionI run UIAlertView.
Some time ago, I decided to leave the office and take a walk with my iPhone 4 to make sure that it worked. I started in the middle of the region (about 200 m in radius), my application was in the foreground all the time. I went through a couple of blocks and left the region, nothing happened.I read on SO (I think) that sometimes it only works when leaving the region a certain distance, so I continued to walk.
After 200 meters or so, I gave up, UIAlertViewstill not showing up, and began to return. Obviously, after re-entering the area, didEnterRegionhe did not shoot either.
I do not call [locationManager startUpdatingLocation]anywhere in my code, should I be ??? I just create a region and call [locationManager startMonitoringForRegion].
CLLocationManagerDelegateis my app delegate, and it seems great as mine didStartMonitoringForRegionworks correctly.
Have I missed anything else?
