@jancellor This thread is a few years old so not sure if it's still relevant. I just came back from a ski trip in the Dolomites and an app like this would have been super helpful. I did search for some kind of ski resort navigation app but didn't find anything useful. I only now just happened upon this thread! Is the app still available? I tried the iOS link and it doesn't seem to be available on the Canadian App Store.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Hi @pgostaovic, unfortunately I'm not updating the app anymore and both Apple and Google required changes which I haven't implemented, so it's not available in either store. Sorry, I should remove the store links from the homepage when I get a chance.
You can use the web demo version at https://ski-nav-app.com on your phone though still.

Ah that's a shame. Do you mind my asking what issues Apple and Google had? Just curious... I'm also a software developer and am working on an app (music related) -- wondering what kinds of issues to expect. I always thought Google was fairly permissive. Apple not so much.

I can't fully remember, but with Google pretty sure it was related to permissions, probably background location sharing that needed to be declared in a different way. I made another Android app that uses GPS in the standard way as of ~2023 that will also have to change the next time I release it. I imagine you will have to create a "foreground service" that is declared to be of type "mediaPlayback" (or something) and that displays a persistent notification and then request permissions from the user dynamically before starting the service.
