What do you require assistance about?
I have set the showsBackgroundLocationIndicator flag to true in my iOS application. However, this has resulted in significant battery drain on iOS devices.
- I need to understand the specific reason why setting this flag to true is necessary, particularly for iOS version 18.
- Why does this flag cause higher battery consumption on iOS, and is there a way to optimize or mitigate this issue?
