iOS compatibility? #5

Hi there, is there any plans for an iOS app?

aeri commented 1 year ago

Hi, one problem in iOS comes from the library I am using, background-fetch specifies precisely this for Apple devices:

  • When your app is terminated, iOS no longer fires events
  • If the user doesn't open your iOS app for long periods of time, iOS will stop firing events.

These inconveniences would disable the ability to notify when plants require care, so a different approach than the one currently used would have to be adopted to see how it can be adapted.

The other problem is that I don't have a Mac with which to effectively compile and verify the build.

So iOS support is not on the roadmap at the moment.
