  • React Native Background task

    Hey, have you tried using react-native-background-fetch? It works amazingly with periodic background tasks (Android & iOS) even when the app is terminated! Just set your desired interval (15 mins), the library will take care of app termination and background state scenarios. Happy coding!

  • Best practice for background fetch + notification?
    1 project | /r/reactnative | 5 Nov 2021
    But I've tried something similar before and i noticed that background activities/fetches not always work. Sometimes it works a few times after opening the app and after that it stops working. In this case I really want them to work every single time (at least ones a day). I used https://github.com/transistorsoft/react-native-background-fetch for the background fetch the previous time.
  • Best way to notify users when they get matched?

    But for the former, I'm wondering what's the best option here. I'm deciding between Expo's BackgroundFetch versus react-native-background-fetch. Are there any differences I need to be aware about?

    Go for it mate! Currently, I got discouraged because of how background tasks in iOS are handled. I am using react-native and this library specifically for Android - https://github.com/transistorsoft/react-native-background-fetch . But it is not working for iOS on terminate and restarts.
