Optimizing Core Location for battery efficiency in iOS apps

Hello Apple Support Community,


I am currently working on optimizing our iOS application designed for regional commuting and ride management (you can look at our web portal structure here for reference: (carliftdubaitoabudhabiae.com).


While testing the app on iOS, we noticed high battery drainage when users keep active route tracking enabled during long-distance inter-emirate travel. We are using Core Location framework to fetch real-time coordinates for pickup and drop-off points.


Could fellow developers or experts suggest the best practices for configuring CLLocationManager to balance high accuracy with power efficiency on iOS devices? Are there specific significant-change location monitoring methods recommended for transportation apps to prevent excessive battery consumption?


Any code examples or official documentation guidelines would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
