What do you require assistance about?

Hi, we have recently integrated the plugin into our app for a continuous vehicle tracking use-case and would like to understand what the recommended configuration should be for this scenario.

First I want to say huge thanks to you for this plugin because it is works amazing for us.

Our Use Case:

Tracking moving vehicles in real-time
App should continue tracking in background and terminated states
Stability is more important than extremely high frequency updates

Is this configuration appropriate for continuous vehicle tracking on iOS?

Only one time we observed this crash on our logs:

EXC_BAD_ACCESS: Exception 1, Code 1  
KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x400000000000bad0

[Optional] Plugin Code and/or Config

await BackgroundGeolocation.ready({
      reset: true,
      geolocation: {
        desiredAccuracy: BackgroundGeolocation.DesiredAccuracy.Navigation,
        distanceFilter: 10,
        activityType: BackgroundGeolocation.ActivityType.AutomotiveNavigation,
        stationaryRadius: 20,
        stopTimeout: 3,
        locationUpdateInterval: 5000,
        fastestLocationUpdateInterval: 3000,
      },
      app: {
        stopOnTerminate: false,
        startOnBoot: true,
        enableHeadless: true,
        preventSuspend: true,
        heartbeatInterval: 60,
        notification: {
          title: 'UWays',
          text: 'Tracking your location',
        },
      },
      logger: {
        debug: __DEV__,
        logLevel: __DEV__ ? BackgroundGeolocation.LogLevel.Verbose : 0,
      },
    });

Looking for your response thank you

Your config is fine, though I'd increase stopTimeout to at least 5 minutes.

EXC_BAD_ACCESS

There's no evidence that came from this SDK. You need to provide full stacktrace.
