Does this skill support the latest iOS 17+ location APIs?

Yes, it is specifically optimized for modern APIs like CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates() and the CLMonitor geofencing engine.

How do I fix 'Authorization Denied' issues on fresh installs?

The diagnostic tool checks if your Info.plist usage strings are missing or empty, which causes automatic denial by the system.

Why are my Core Location updates not arriving in the background?

This skill helps verify your CLBackgroundActivitySession lifecycle and ensures your Info.plist contains the required 'location' value in UIBackgroundModes.

What should I do if my geofences aren't triggering?

Use the skill to check your condition limits (max 20), verify the radius is at least 100m for reliability, and ensure a Task is actively awaiting monitor events.
