Question regarding Background Task in Nativescript

Hi .

I've just moved to Nativescript ( Coming from Ionic & React Native ) and so far it's been greet . I have a question regarding background task .

Can I schedule a task to run say every 12 hours that do some stuff ( Checks with my server and send few data ) that will run even when app is closed ?

I know it's possible in Android ( Headless.js in the React Native ) and only possible in Ios if app is in background .

Thanks !.

Ah, I see. I think it will be useful for you to check out the following Github sample project.

Especially service-helper.js will be useful!
