Background fetch not working

See original GitHub issue

Hi there! I know capacitor has a way to finish a job called Background Task, but I would like to retrieve the geolocation of the device once in a while.

Basically, make cordova-plugin-background-fetch but for some reason, it doesn’t work.

I get the log where it gets sent to cordova but the plugin still doesn’t work when I do Debug->Simulate Background Fetch.

Any ideas or alternative for this?

Thank you!

I’ve added Capacitor Support in cordova-plugin-background-fetch@5.6.0

npm install cordova-plugin-background-fetch
npx cap sync

ℹ️ See Capacitor Setup

Capacitor support for cordova-background-geolocation-lt will be published next week.
