@shakil807g yeas. But the last time that i check, Workmanager was in Alpha and wasn't production ready yet.

Priority Jobqueue appears "abandoned" by @yigit - i don't know if have a new good fork.

Yigit is focusing all his time on Google and their improvements, he’s an amazing programmer.

@shakil807g, I’d honestly go with what Android is doing. Which is basically this but native and well supported and I can tell you now, will be the future.

@biliboss sorry to disappoint you. I could've been more responsive here thought the work is quite overwhelming that i've been neglecting the project. Also, WorkManager is designed to replace android priority jobqueue. They don't do the same work but i do think JobManager does more than it sohuld in today's world (it was a very different environment when we created this library 7 years ago).

I've already updated the readme to deprecate. Happy to fix any important issue here so people who are using the library can continue but other than that, i don't plan to do any improvements here.

You don't need to apologize @yigit. I'm very grateful for your work, you're awesome.

@yigit Could you please review #417, and comment/close if you think this is not a bug or not something which you can merge.
