How to schedule background tasks in Flutter?

by

There is a Medium blogpost that explains how to do this.
However we thought it was way too complicated to set up so it just happens we created a plugin that aids you with this. 

//Provide a top level function or static function.
//This function will be called by Android and will return the value you provided when you registered the task.
//See below
void callbackDispatcher() {
  Workmanager.executeTask((task) {
    print("Native echoed: $task");
    return Future.value(true);
  });
}

Workmanager.initialize(
    callbackDispatcher, //the top level function.
    isInDebugMode: true //If enabled it will post a notification whenever the job is running. Handy for debugging jobs
)

We support Android’s Workmanager and iOS performFetch

For now it only works for Android project, but we are looking at iOS soon.
I’ll update this answer when it is available.

We have iOS support now too. It is still early alpha, but give a go.
We wrote a complimentary Medium post too.
