What should be the values of BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers ?

[dhruvgohiloo7]

I have implemented one job that has to run when app goes into the background. Do I have to put same values of BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers as it is in the Sample's Info.plist ? Also do I have to specify those values anywhere else ?

Also I have one task which starts when app is in the foreground and it has to be continued if app goes in to the background, this is how I have implemented it
ShinyHost.Resolve<IJobManager>().RunTask("Syncing Data", async (c) => await Sync());
Is this correct ?

Those values only need to be declared in the info.plist.

Yes - that will work and will continue to run for roughly 30 seconds if your app backgrounds. Jobs (implementing IJob) are recommended

Thank you so much for the confirmation, your time and help. Much appreciated !

@aritchie I have updated shiny to the latest preview version after it I am getting below error

Shiny.Generators/Shiny.Generators.iOSAppDelegateSourceGenerator/AppDelegate.cs(189,189): Error CS0117: 'Platform' does not contain a definition for 'PerformActionForShortcutItem' (CS0117)

I have added
[assembly: Shiny.ShinyApplication( ShinyStartupTypeName = nameof(MyApp.ShinyAppStartup), XamarinFormsAppTypeName = nameof(Myapp) )]

If you find an issue, file an issue and send a reproducible sample

@aritchie I have just created new project and It works just fine. But in my current project if I add that assembly([assembly: Shiny.ShinyApplication.....]) then I start getting same error. Any idea why I am getting that error ?

@dhruvgohiloo7 No, I have no idea because you haven't given me a reproducible sample in the proper place as I have requested.
