Package Exports

expo-background-fetch/package.json

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (expo-background-fetch) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Configure for Android

No additional set up necessary.

This module might listen when the device is starting up. It's necessary to continue working on tasks started with startOnBoot. It also keeps devices "awake" that are going idle and asleep fast, to improve reliability of the tasks.

<!-- Added permissions -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

Configure for iOS

Run npx pod-install after installing the npm package.

In order to use BackgroundFetch API in standalone, detached and bare apps on iOS, your app has to include background mode in the Info.plist file. See background fetch configuration for more details.
