Hello everybody,
I know, that an app can request additionally time in background by calling beginBackgroundTask. But as documentation and many other posts says, it is only designed to finish a possible longer running task.
(I tried to extend background execution beyond that by calling beginBackgroundTask with a timer, but that does not seem to reliably work and seems not the way it should be used.)
As I am a developer of a fitness app, I am interested in keeping the app running in the background for a longer time (> 30min), if the user decides to turn off the device or to have another app in the front to watch a stream during the training.
There should be a way to make this work, since running apps work in the background for multiple hours without being terminated.
I even have a simple HitSet-timer-app, that works in the background, while a streaming app is in the foreground.
Can anyone help me with that or point me in the right direction?
Thank you in advance!
