React-native-background-geolocation: forceSync() method not working on iOS

forceSync() method not working on iOS

I am trying to create a solution where the received locations are shared with the API only after N locations, using syncUrl parameter. Except, when the user decides to stop sharing his location (by pressing a stop button) I want to force the synchronization of the locations that haven't been shared yet.

On iOS, the onSuccess of syncUrl() is not called. Same thing for getValidLocations().
Working on Android.

Debug logs

Probably not related but on android, I get strange results when testing the app with syncUrl mode enabled:

I get like a lot of locations and they are kind of unordered, as you can see on my screenshot :

I was going from east to west, but according to the locations I kept going back and forth, and the total distance on the API was around 13km instead of around 2km

Maybe by @time not recorded?

Seem like @mauron85 no longer maintain this project. Do you want to bring it to react-native-community?

If this lib bring to react-native-community it will be best.
