Adding UIBackgroundModes fails

[andersborgabiro]

When I unzip the IPA file, there's no setting of UIBackgroundModes, only NSLocationXxx. Any idea?

    <config-file platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist" parent="UIBackgroundModes">
        <array>
            <string>location</string>
        </array>
    </config-file>

    <config-file platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist" parent="NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription">
        <string>This app requires constant access to your location in order to track your position, even when the screen is off.</string>
    </config-file>

    <config-file platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist" parent="NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription">
        <string>This app will now only track your location when the screen is on and the app is displayed.</string>
    </config-file>

After running cordova prepare ios, do you see the key in the iOS project .plist? Any when you open the project in Xcode, do you see Background Location is checked under Capabilities?

I don't use CLI, but rather PhoneGap Build, so I can only see what's in the IPA.
