I made new project on Xcode 11 beta 7 and just run app on simulator and go back to home screen.

Then debugger shows the message below, although I didn't implement codes related background task.

Can't end BackgroundTask: no background task exists with identifier 1 (0x1), or it may have already been ended. Break in UIApplicationEndBackgroundTaskError() to debug.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

This issue still not fixed. I created a framework in which I am submitting the BGProcessingTaskRequest upon appdidenterbackground notification. it complains about the Error Domain=BGTaskSchedulerErrorDomain Code=1. Ironically I built a sample app without framework it works fine in the Host App and was able to run the command to test the triggering of background process.
