My app disappeared from Background App Refresh setting on iOS8

My app using iBeacon and GeoFence Services worked fine in the background on iOS 7.1, but it didn't on iOS 8. So when I went to the "Background App Refresh" setting to test my app I realized it wasn't is displayed in the list. I think y cannot enable background services. Do I need to update my app to be compatible with iOS 8 on this issue? or is it just an iOS8 bug? Someone please let me know.

I found a solution! In target project settings go to Capabilities (second tab), in Background Modes (which must be enabled) there is a mode called Background Fetch. If you check this mode, the application will appear in the "Background Refresh" list in the phone settings. In iOS 7, the app was on the Background Refresh list if the background Location Services feature was checked, but it doesn't seem to be enough for iOS 8. Checking Background Fetch (with or without Location Services capability) will fix this issue. Edit
