Hi!

It seems I have the issue.

My setup of location manager:

    manager.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically = NO;
    manager.activityType = CLActivityTypeOther;
    switch (status) {
        case kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorizedAlways: {
            manager.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = YES;
            break;
        }
        default: break;
    }
    manager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters;

And even in this aggressive setup it does not work well. App stops for a 20 minutes, which is not an appropriate behavior.

Look at Core Bluetooth thread, it seems that background is broken.
