IOS background fetch is not working

[saiyam]

I am currently developing an app for iOS with expo SDK-version 32, background fetch is working on expo client app?

Steps to Reproduce

1. Allow background fetch in app.json

"ios": {
    "infoPlist": {
        "UIBackgroundModes": [
		"location",
		"fetch"
	]

2.register task
await BackgroundFetch.registerTaskAsync(FETCH_BACKGROUND_TASK);
BackgroundFetch.setMinimumIntervalAsync(60);

3. define task
   TaskManager.defineTask(FETCH_BACKGROUND_TASK, async () => {
   try {
   const now = Date.now();
   setItemLocalStorage(BACKGROUND_TIME_UPDATE, {
   response: now.toString(),
   });
   return BackgroundFetch.Result.NewData;
   } catch (error) {
   return BackgroundFetch.Result.Failed;
   }
   });

Thanks

Hey @saiyam,

Can you ensure you are calling TaskManager globally? If you are, can you elaborate and ideally share the exact error you are getting?

Cheers,

I did not get any error, my location background is working, but background fetch not running, gobally mean should I use in app.js file ?
