How to test BGTaskScheduler on Flutter? #512

Open nicolobozzato opened 11 months ago

nicolobozzato commented 11 months ago

I read the IOS setup very carefully and I would like to test my implementation. So I arrived at this point Testing BGTaskScheduler and I read the instruction on apple website https://developer.apple.com/documentation/backgroundtasks/starting_and_terminating_tasks_during_development

The first point say Set a breakpoint in the code that executes after a successful call to [submit(_:)](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/backgroundtasks/bgtaskscheduler/3142252-submit).

How is it possible to do that in flutter? it seems to me that I can run the subsequent command e -l objc -- (void)[[BGTaskScheduler sharedScheduler] _simulateLaunchForTaskWithIdentifier:@"TASK_IDENTIFIER"] only in Xcode, but how can I put a breakpoint on the code that run after a successful call to [submit(:)]_ ?

Thank you

You can simply pause the app execution in Xcode's debugger, pass the command, wait for debugger's confirmation and resume the app. The task will be executed.
