This plug-in fires a callback periodically according to the minimumFetchInterval.

What you do in that callback is up to you.

@jasan-s was this library actually help you to change wallpaper on time even when app is killed?

even when app is killed?

the iOS platform does not fire background-fetch events after app terminate, only Android can.

Hi thank you for answer :) I am asking only for android I don't need IOS for my case.

One thing that is not clear to me is that background-fetch event will trigger every around 15min in what circumstances it will not trigger?

I also need to change wallpaper on android once in a day. And I think this library is bingo but need to be sure that it will execute in away I need it. Appreciate your support :)

what circumstances it will not trigger?

I don’t know. The plug-in uses Android’s WorkManager api. It’s totally up to the OS.

do your own testing and let the demo app run for a week. It stores received events in persistent storage.
