Does the app run in the background?

The VPS systems used by SonarVision rely on the smartphone’s camera. For obvious privacy reasons, Apple does not allow developers to access the camera when the app is running in the background—for example, when your iPhone is locked or you’re using another app.

Therefore, since SonarVision would be unable to provide you with precise instructions while running in the background, we have not prioritized the development of this feature at this time.

However, the new RTK system no longer requires the use of the iPhone’s camera, so it’s possible that this system could one day work in the background!
