Struggling to test the example app...

[millerf]

Thanks a lot for the awesome work!

I have been trying a couple of solutions to get a a small task to send the phone's GPS location to my backend, and yours seems to be the most advanced / with less weird configuration.

However, I haven't been able to get any of those (including yours) to work.

From a brand new Flutter project, using the example main.dart and following the installation process, I cannot get any background task to show anything...

I must be missing something but I cannot figure out why.

ios

I checked your repo and opened your example/ app, and compiled. This is what I get (same on an Android physical device):

It looks like I have the right capabilities set:

Also, I get this in the terminal:

Upgrading Info.plist
Removing script build phase dependency analysis.
Warning: Missing build name (CFBundleShortVersionString).
Warning: Missing build number (CFBundleVersion).
Action Required: You must set a build name and number in the pubspec.yaml file version field before submitting to the App Store.
Running pod install...

Syncing files to device iPhone 14 Pro Max...
flutter: To simulate the refresh task you can use next command: "e -l objc -- (void)[[BGTaskScheduler sharedScheduler] _simulateLaunchForTaskWithIdentifier:@"com.dsr_corporation.task1"]"

But I have no idea what the command does, and if I run it I get:

$> e -l objc -- (void)[[BGTaskScheduler sharedScheduler] _simulateLaunchForTaskWithIdentifier:@"taskID"]

zsh: bad pattern: (void)[[BGTaskScheduler

Any idea?

Android

I got it working and I could see the task sending messages in the terminal, however as soon as I closed my app, the task seemed to terminate:

I/flutter (23101): refresh 0:00:19.164256
I/flutter (23101): refresh 0:00:20.179155
I/flutter (23101): end refresh task
I/WM-WorkerWrapper(23101): Worker result SUCCESS for Work [ id=1d39c6a7-db71-453e-a796-ed6078505dc2, tags={ com.dsr_corporation.flutter_background_executor.workers.FlutterBackgroundExecutorWorker } ]

So I could not have it run in the background...

Am I missing something?

I think I figured something out.

The "immediate tasks" are working perfectly in the background.

However I am more interested in the "refresh" tasks. And I cannnot get those to work...
