StreamChat creating background tasks and not ending them within 30 seconds

[dfed]

What did you do?

I'm not sure. I am seeing the following logs in my app (called "Tolan Dev"):

Background Task 49 ("Called by Tolan Dev.debug.dylib, from $s10StreamChat26IOSBackgroundTaskSchedulerCAA010BackgrounddE0A2aDP05beginD017expirationHandlerSbyycSg_tFTW"), was created over 30 seconds ago. In applications running in the background, this creates a risk of termination. Remember to call UIApplication.endBackgroundTask(_:) for your task in a timely manner to avoid this.

It seems like StreamChat is calling beginBackgroundTask without ending the task gracefully within 30 seconds.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected StreamChat to terminate its background tasks within the required time period

What happened instead?

StreamChat apparently did not terminate its background tasks within the required time period

@dfed

@dfed Could you please tell me if this is something what you can consistently reproduce? I am trying to understand under what circumstances does it appear. We do call endBackgroundTask in the expiration handler, but not sure why does this message get logged by iOS.
