BackgroundTasks from iOS 13

[foxware00]

Is there any plans or ideas yet surrounding the BackgroundTasks API's release in iOS 13. I can see that allowing jobs to be scheduled to run when the app is backgrounded might be a very useful feature

Hi, Thanks I was not aware of this API. I'll look into it.
If you already know how to use it feel free to send open a pull request.

BackgroundTask API support has been added. Please be aware that it's an experimental feature for now. I won't document it yet

Would it possible to schedule a task to run only in the background? For example some maintenance tasks.

[lucas34]

@tomislav It can be implemented. However right now it's for periodic job to keep running if the app goes in background.

I'm not aware of the full limitation and capabilities of the API

@lucas34 This looks great, I'll find some time to give it a play. Thanks for taking the time to look
