Background Task Scheduler
Hello, An application I am working on would like to schedule push notifications for a medication reminder app. I am trying to use BGTaskScheduler to wake up periodically and submit the notifications based on the user's medication schedule. I set up the task registration in my AppDelegate's didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method: BGTaskScheduler.shared.register( forTaskWithIdentifier: backgroundTaskIdentifier, using: nil) { task in self.scheduleNotifications() task.setTaskCompleted(success: true) self.scheduleAppRefresh() } scheduleAppRefresh() I then schedule the task using: func scheduleAppRefresh() { let request = BGAppRefreshTaskRequest(identifier: backgroundTaskIdentifier) request.earliestBeginDate = Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: 60 * 1) do { try BGTaskScheduler.shared.submit(request) } catch { } } In my testing, I can see the background task getting called once, but if I do not launch the application during the day. The background task does not get called the next day. Is there something else I need to add to get repeated calls from the BGTaskScheduler? Thank You, JR
