Overview
A Flutter package that enables geofencing by running a foreground service on Android and iOS. It allows apps to monitor geographic boundaries and trigger actions when users enter or exit defined areas, even when the app is in the background. The service runs continuously with a persistent notification, ensuring reliability across platform-specific constraints. Designed for real-time location tracking, it supports both Android and iOS platforms with minimal setup.
