[Question] Does this module work on iOS 13?

[Saehanseul]

I'm finding module which working at IOS 13.
I was used react-native-backgroun-timer. but it's not working at IOS 13.
I think it's because of new ios "background processing".

I wanna know about this module cover IOS 13.

Sadly, this library will not keep alive the app in the background by itself on iOS. I am working on an iOS 13 solutions using the new BGProcessingTaskRequest API, but that won't completely fix the issue either. The main problem is with iOS itself and its restrictions on background tasks.

However, you can rely on other libraries like react-native-track-player that use audio, geolocalization, etc. to keep your app alive in the background while you execute the JS from this library.

I have updated the library documentation about this subject.

You say in the main documentation on the warning part that the problem is that this library wont get the app to live forever in background.. But, will it live for at least 15-20 minutes? And, will this library allow to execute any JS code while on background as long as the app lives?

@d0xi5, it might live for at least 5 minutes. However, iOS can close it as soon as it wants. It depends on your use case.
