Overview
A cross-platform Flutter plugin for managing geofences on Android and iOS, enabling background location monitoring and real-time geofence event handling. It allows apps to detect when a device enters or exits predefined geographic regions, even when the app is in the background. Ideal for location-based reminders, asset tracking, and proximity marketing. The plugin integrates seamlessly with Flutter's ecosystem and supports both platforms with consistent APIs.
