Hello everyone, I’m using https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-background-mode plugin to send background information to the server constantly (every 60sec). At some point (a few hours) the plugin seems to stop working. I also tried the fork: https://bitbucket.org/TheBosZ/cordova-plugin-run-in-background/src/master/

Snippet: cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.enable(); cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.disableBatteryOptimizations(); cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.on('activate', *function* () { cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.disableWebViewOptimizations(); intervalForBackground = $interval(*function* () { // send backgrorund information to the server }, 60000); });

Added to AndroidManifest.xml:

    &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" /&gt;
&lt;/manifest&gt;```
As I mentioned it works fine for about 5-10 hours, after that the app seems to be closed (Depends on the device - Android &gt;= 9). The notification “App is running in background” disappears. Does anyone have any suggestions on this?

Installed version:
- cordova - 10.0.0
- cordova-ios: 6.1.1
- cordova-android: 9.1.0

Hi folks, what is the best way to log plugin/native crashes in cordova based production apps android and iOS? Does cordova-plugin-firebase-crashlytics will help or not. Please guide.

@niklasmerz any releasemap for new release of cordova-plugin-fingerprint-aio ?
and, is it possible to use face-ID on android devices together with fingerprint with this plugin?
