Timeout event is not firing when duration set to 8 hours and app is in background

[rajath-1990]

Hi,

Thank u for the useful library.

I am facing an issue. I have used the below code

final sessionConfig = SessionConfig(
    invalidateSessionForAppLostFocus: const Duration(hours: 8),
    invalidateSessionForUserInactivity: const Duration(hours: 8));

I kept the app in the background for more than 8 hours and when I opened the app again, the timeout event was not firing. (it is supposed to redirect to the login screen after 8. hours) .

Hi @rajath-1990, can you check if it is working for smaller durations

[rajath-1990]

yes. working for smaller duration

[SankethBK]

@rajath-1990 in emulator or real device?

[rajath-1990]

both

[SankethBK]

I'll check and confirm

I tested the app by setting the timeout to 1 hour. It's working. but if I set it to 8 hours, it's not working

[SankethBK]

what is the usecase for keeping the timeout that long?

[rajath-1990]

This is client requirement and to enforce security. If user is inactive for 8 hours, then user has to logout automatically and redirect to login screen

it's possible that the operating system or device power-saving features could affect the behavior of your app's timers and lead to issues with session management over an extended period like 8 hours.

Hi, i've fixed this issue in latest release 3.0.0. I have removed the timer completely which has risk of getting terminated from OS, instead storing the timestamp when app is pushed to the background and calculating the time difference when app regains focus.
