why not using this react-native-background-fetch itself? #26

What are the limitations of this react-native-background-fetch?

What are the advantages of this package?

jamesisaac commented 6 years ago

Android support is a new addition to the react-native-background-fetch library (added just under a month ago it looks like). While the initial goal of this library, from the first release about a year ago, has always been cross-platform support.

I can have a closer look at and comment on the implementation differences when I get a chance, but at a quick glance it looks like both libraries are probably more or less achieving the same thing.
