WP8 Keep alive #233

Closed luigi37 closed 8 years ago

luigi37 commented 8 years ago

Hi Chris, am I right in assuming that this plugin is keeping WP8 apps running in background indefinitely EVEN WITHOUT movement? Is that correct? Thanks Luigi

I cannot say. I didn’t make the WP8 plugin, it was contributed to the repo via pull-request some time ago. I wouldn’t be surprised if its performance was sub-par compared to Android & iOS.

Thanks Chris. After some tests I can confirm that IF THERE IS NO MOVEMENT: 1- The App DOES not get killed (meaning when I reopen it's the same I left, not a new launch) 2- The App gets frozen and no javascript task gets executed meantime (not sure about your callback function but I assume not, as there is no position change, BTW I've put zero at accuracy). 3- Background sound and vibration are NOT played (not sure if this is due to the lack of javascript execution or on the need of enabling a background sound mode like in iOS). Just for everybody info...
