Does PhoneGap app require iOS source code for background service?

Question

I have a PhoneGap app and it checks your location every 5 minutes and reports it etc. to do it when the app needs to run in the background.

For Android I wrote my own code, but for iOS will this work?

I'm not even sure how to implement my own c object in PhoneGap as they are very different compilers and this pauses.

Any advice would be appreciated. When it returns to the foreground, it will resume all remaining operations.

For this you need to write a plugin. The plugin will allow you to write Objective-C code and link it to a JS function. Here are some guides:
