🐞[Background Processing Task not working on iOS]

[sinhpn92]

Hello,

I have integrated according to the instructions for iOS. I have also tried with the example project, but it doesn't work with registerProcessingTask. When I tried with registerOneOffTask, it worked, but registerProcessingTask did not. Has anyone encountered this issue on iOS?

I check the console log of device and receive the cancellation log:

Looking at the documentation it seems that they might indicate ios works only with the one off task as this is the only sentence above the ios example "iOS supports One off tasks with a few basic constraints:"

I saw registerProcessingTask in their example code, so I tried it. However, I did not see any trigger for this task. I looked up some documents about iOS Background Processing tasks. They say that the operating system decides when the task will be executed, and we cannot know when it will run; it depends on the operating system. It could be a few minutes later, a few hours later, or even a few days later. This is a real obstacle for data synchronization in the application. Is this true? Can anyone help me understand this better?

Do you have any updates?
