Currently

• The startSelfTracking() does not need user sessions which are basically created using createUser() or getUser() methods.
• And, they track location locally and does not publish location to Roam.ai servers. Even if the publishSave() methods are being called, they will throw an error.
• In order to publish location updates to server, along with createUser() or getUser() methods, we have use startTracking() instead of startSelfTracking().

Proposed

• We can combine the startTracking() and startSelfTracking() into a single method and name it as startTracking()
• If the user session is not available ie. createUser() or getUser() not being called, the location update works locally and behaves similar to startSelfTracking()
• And if the user session are enabled using createUser() or getUser() methods and startTracking() will still continue to update locations locally unless until the publishSave() or publishOnly() methods are called
• Along with this the stopTracking() and stopSelfTracking() into a single method and name it as stopTracking()

When
being a developer, during updateCurrentLocation() method
I want to
send custom meta-data (ie. key value pairs) along with that specific location update
So that
we can tag the meta-data only to single location update and not for all the location update, when we add the same using publishSave() method.

Things to notice

• If the publishSave() method already has meta-data added, this will be overwritten by the meta-data passed in updateCurrentLocation() method and applied only for that specific location update and rest will continue to use the previous configurations passed in publishSave() method.
• The meta-data information should be available below for user location subsciptions.

func didUpdateLocation(_ location: RoamLocation) {
        //Receive user location along with meta-data
    }
func didReceiveUserLocation(_ location: RoamLocationReceived) {
         //Receive other users' location along with meta-data
    }
```</div>
