This library seems pretty dead, are there any alternatives? #64

mihaibulic2 commented 1 year ago

Hello! So, this library only has 31 commits, had no commits between 2019 and 2022, only a few since then, and has many open issues and PRs. It's also built/owned by a start-up. All in all, that makes it feel like a risky/unreliable dependency to take on?

  1. Am I wrong / misinterpreting things? (ie is this actually a reliable dep?)

  2. If that seems like a reasonable conclusion, does anyone know of any other libraries that can help w/ running background tasks?

Thanks!

@mihaibulic2 https://github.com/Raja0sama/rn-foreground-service seems like a good alternative

I tried the mentioned alternatives but wasn't able to get either working with a long running foreground task
