You just add it to the info.plist. – rckoenes Feb 03 '14 at 10:16

In Xcode 5, Project setting -> Target -> Capabilities -> Background modes -> check Location updates.
If you are using an earlier version of Xcode, set the background mode for Location as in the following screenshot.

Is this a BUG? when Required background modes > "App provides Voice over IP services" is selected then instead of GREEN UI it shows a RED ui on top. Also in iPad the RED ui say its recording but my app does not do recording it only do Voice over. – Mar 22 '17 at 15:02

You can add that key to the info.plist. If you are using Xcode 5 it's very simple. In Capabilities just turn on the Background Modes.
