On WatchOS, there is a notification that seems to go off about ten minutes until the hour that reminds you to stand up and move around some. I know we can schedule local notifications, but when the notification is triggered how is Apple checking if they actually need to present the notification or not? For example, if I have stood in the past hour and moved around, there's no need to show me the notification at 10 minutes until the hour.My app runs on iOS. Reaching a goal is dependent on a user's last known action and the time elapsed since that last action. Currently, the user can launch my app and logic will be run to let them know their progress in reaching their goal. What I would like is the ability to run this logic in the background while the app is backgrounded (or even if it is killed). The end result for the user would be their iPhone is in their pocket and my app notifies them when the goal has been reached.There is not a server component to my app. I am aware of things like region monitoring, monitoring significant location updates, and background reetch requests to a server that wake the app to perform actions, but to use them for my purpose seems kind of a hack (and potentially unnecessarily draining on the battery). Am I missing an easy way to do this? or should I file a radar feature request? Suggestions?Thanks for any help or feedback.Dan

I am adding a small feature to an existing app which fires a user notification when a user enters a predefined geo-fences. When I load the same app on my colleagues' iPhone 6S (2 have a 6S) and an iPhone 7Plus, they are reliably receiving the user notifcations as we walk around together entering these predefined regions.My new iPhone 8 Plus, on the other hand, does _not_ reliably receive notifications, and it is perplexing. I have allowed/enabled/turned on notifications for the app, have selected the "Always" option for core location usage permissions on my device, and I have not enabled "Do Not Disturb." I have launched the Apple Maps app to verify my location is accurate, and it is accurate. I do receive other notifications from other apps (not location related) on both my iPhone and Apple Watch. Is there a known hardware or software issue?My iPhone 8 Plus is on AT&T, one of the 6S devices is on Verizon and the other iPhone 6S is on AT&T, and the iPhone 7 Plus is on AT&T.
