Doesn't execute the scheduled work after rebooting the device on Android 10 if targetSdkVersion = 29

[n0vah]

I have an issue when I set targetSdkVersion 29 and start my periodic work on Android 10 and reboot my device, then after rebooting the Worker doesn't execute at the scheduled time (the Worker is executed only after the application starts). With targetSdkVersion 28, everything works well.

I found a workaround to this issue, it is to have BootReceiver, which will restart the application after reboot. It will be great if WorkManager will work as expected without any workarounds.

Thanks for reporting this.
That behavior seems really strange.
Can you please open a bug on the WorkManager public issue tracker: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=409906&template=1094197

With some additional information like if this is happening on the emulator or on a specific device?

Thanks

Yes, I created an issue there https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/140611845,
but the behavior looks very strange, because WorkManager began to reschedule work after a few reboots, and my colleague also had the same problem on Pixel 3a (Android 10), and it was also fixed after a few reboots. WorkManager works well on emulators.

I experienced this on Huawei P30/Lite devices, opened a separate issue for it already

Closing. Please continue the discussion on the public issuetraker bug.
