I’m sure you’re super busy with the iOS 26 release but when you have time can you look at the waking from sleep feature on Arc Editor?
It seems to change between brilliant to could be better. Take the last two days shown below. The multi colour day shows the brown track not waking up from my home for approximately 10 minutes via a golf cart, while the all green colour is me walking and taking the same amount of time to wake up.
I have tried opening the app before leaving home, then closing the screen to opening the app and making sure the screen is open when leaving home. Nothing seems to follow a pattern. What is the recommended way to ‘wake’ the app when leaving home?
Sorry for late reply! Just got back from a couple of weeks in the Himalayas.
Yeah that brown line looks … not good! I’m not sure why it’d take that long. Feels to me like it was getting bad location information in that case, otherwise it’s really hard to imagine what logic it would have been following to do that bad a job of it.
I guess one possibility is that the app was suspended by iOS. So not terminated, just suspended/frozen. Then iOS unfroze it once it realised it had some important location updates to give to the app - a bit of an “oops, I was meant to be leaving this app alone, and also providing it updates. I’d better start doing that again”.
But that’s all speculation. Hard to know what really happened.
In terms of the app logic, the wake up should never take more than 60 seconds, which should be fast enough. And most of the time it should be doing sleep cycles of 30 seconds or less, especially if it’s a common leaving time.
Which is why I think something weird went wrong, instead of it being a problem with the wake up logic. The question is… what weird thing happened
