How do I set up background fetch in React Native?

To set up background fetch in React Native, you can use the react-native-background-fetch library. First, install it using npm or yarn.

What are the steps after installing the library?

After installation, you need to link the library, configure it in your app's code, and set up the background fetch task.

Can you provide a code example for the configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import BackgroundFetch from "react-native-background-fetch";

BackgroundFetch.configure({
  minimumFetchInterval: 15,
  stopOnTerminate: false,
  startOnBoot: true,
}, async (taskId) => {
  console.log("Background fetch executed");
  BackgroundFetch.finish(taskId);
});

What platforms does this work on?

It works on both iOS and Android, but you need to follow specific setup instructions for each platform.
