Step 2: Building and Running the Ionic 3 App

$ npm install

$ ionic platform add android
$ ionic run android --device

$ ionic platform add ios
$ ionic run ios --emulator

The quickest way to see the plugin in-action is to boot the iOS simulator and simulate location

🔷 Debug Mode

The plugin has a debug mode for field-testing. The plugin will emit sounds during its life-cycle events:

Event	iOS	Android
Exit stationary-region	Calendar event sound	n/a
Location recorded	SMS-sent sound	"blip"
Aggressive geolocation engaged	SIRI listening sound	"doodly-doo"
Acquiring stationary location	"tick, tick, tick"	n/a
Stationary state	"bloom"	long "beeeeeeep"
Geofence crossing	trumpets/fanfare	boop-boop-boop

NOTE: In order for debug sounds to operate when the app is in background, you must enable the Audio and Airplay Background Mode.

🔷 Simple Testing Server

A simple Node-based web-application with SQLite database is available for field-testing and performance analysis. If you're familiar with Node, you can have this server up-and-running in about one minute.

🔷 Adding Geofences

The app implements a longtap event on the map. Simply tap & hold the map to initiate adding a geofence.

Enter an identifier, radius, notifyOnExit, notifyOnEntry.
