I'm try to create a location based login app using ionic version 1. Purpose is to user can submit there attendance (arrival and departure) when they are on office area through app. The back end stuffs should be on PHP/MySQL for API.
App features -
App will ask user to turn on GPS
Without GPS Turn on user can't access app
When user submit a attendance app will send user current location to api.
A push notification will trigger when user arrive nearest location of office (with in 100 meters) if GPS on
Here question is -
How to force user to turn on GPS when open app?
How to push notification when users comes to nearest area of office?
You can use the cordova-diagnostic-plugin to check if the user has given GPS permissions. If he did not, you can just not give him access to the app and tell him he needs to activate it.
You can use the cordova-plugin-mauron85-background-geolocation to set up a geofence around certain points and then send a push notification once the user enters.
