subscription updates when app is in background

[ujwal-setlur]

Does react-native-meteor work with maintaining a subscription when the app moves to the background? In my case, subscription seems to get refreshed only when app comes back into foreground.

Asking similar question Can data be refreshed in a background timer, sort of waking up the app in the background ?

As i know, device will kill app after period of time. So when app back from background or open, we should call sync method to update last changed data.

How about react-native-background-task? All you have to do is to ensure connection to Meteor (Meteor.reconnect()) and execute your background data sync. Didn't test it, but it should work.

@joaopiopedreira Sorry, may be a naive question - how can we reconnect to Meteor server while it is disconnected?
