Background-mode when app hasn't been started yet? about cordova-plugin-background-mode HOT 8 CLOSED

You have to call enable from your app, so the app has to be open.

You mean after restarting the phone, the app exits from background mode and we have to run the app manually again?

Do you realize what this plugin does? It prevents the OS from going to
sleep.

For the sake of your poor users, I would hope they could at least stop the
madness of your app sleep-depriving their phone, consuming their battery,
by restarting their phone.

Is it possible that the plugin lets the device to go sleep and resume the app after waking up?

What is your use-case? What exactly is your app doing that requires
constant bg-running?

No. A news app that should show some important news from the internet in the device notification area even when the app is closed by the user. I don't like to prevent the phone going to sleep but after waking up again the background service should continue running. I like your plugin lets the device goes sleep.

Once again, background-mode plugin sucks naive developers in, wasting
their time and money.
, Walk away from this plugin and never come back. Apple will deny you.
You don't need this plugin.

ios created the "background-fetch" system in ios 7 for precisely your
use-case. Background-fetch, when enabled, will awake your app, at
roughly 15min intervals, and provide your app exactly 30s of background
running, just enough time to do an HTTP request to your server to fetch
some info, perhaps send a local-notification to the user and/or update your
UI, before going back to sleep again.

I made a cordova plugin that will allow you to easily take advantage of
this system. It's ios-only, since Android doesn't have this system yet,
but it'll get you safely started.
