the OS won't let you do that reliably unless the user also keeps opening the app. background processing is heavily limited for the right reasons.
Even if it's only when the app is not backgrounded?
Which leads into apple's extreme aversion to background apps....
It doesn't work in the background. But that's not the app's fault, it's just an iOS restriction.

Seems to work well when the app is open, what about background modes?
Even if the app is running in the background? Sorry, I don't use iOS

The apps are not allowed to do background process. But can register a callback to be called when is in background. But there is no guarantee it will be called for sure.
