loadWifiList when device screen off

[EmaSciacca]

Hi,

I would like to periodically invoke loadWifiList function in order to log nearby Wifi networks data.
In order to log this data even if the app is not in foreground I'm using an external library (react-native-background-timer). However, when device screen is switched off, the application keeps on logging periodically wifi data but it doesn't refresh them, that is it continues to log the data it retrieved the last time the screen was on.
When the screen is switched on again, the app logs new data correctly.

Is there a way to make the app refresh wifi data even if the screen is switched on?

I'm testing my app on an android device with 5.1 OS version

Hi @EmaSciacca were you able to find any solution for this?

We are also seeing this behavior. However since this issue has been open since 2016 we are expecting this won't be fixed anytime soon?

Anybody any pointers to why this is happening? We are not seeing this behavior on all phones.
