Is cordova-plugin-background-mode Accepted by iOS AppStore and Android PlayStore?


The cordova-plugin-background-mode Github page has this warning about app store compliance:

Store Compliance

Infinite background tasks are not official supported on most mobile operation systems and     
thus not compliant with public store vendors. A successful submssion isn't garanteed.

Has anyone successfully submitted it?

Has anyone used this plugin and had difficulty submitting it to the iOS or Android stores?

Are there specific scenarios which get rejected? Is it when its truly an infinite background task that never stops or are there other scenarios which get rejected as well?


Solution

  • Yep. Just got rejected today. First they rejected the metadata because it appeared in the configuration. Tried explaining myself to their review board as to why we need this and they just rejected the binary outright. So ... pfff there goes my inactivity lockout on iOS. Digging for a new solution...

    Android accepted no problem ...
