no timers in background task

[vitto-moz]

I think this info should be in the documentation if you define task with a setTimeont - callback will be called only after app comeback to foreground mode

export const define = function (dispatch) {
  BackgroundTask.define(() => {
    dispatch(devicesDetailsActions.startUpdatingCycleBackground())
    setTimeout(() => {
      console.log('BackgroundTask timeout') // <===THIS WILL BE RUN IN FOREGROUND
    }, 3000)
  })
}

On iOS or Android?

@jussirantala Andoird, haven't tested on iOS yet?

@vitto-moz how did you work around this issue? Because iOS will kill the app if the background task runs for longer than 30sec, I'm trying to use a timeout to stop the task if the asynchronous call has not yet finished after just below 30sec
