Hi there, I am confused on the different between lifecycleScope.launchWhenResumed and lifecycle.repeatOnLifecycle(Lifecycle.State.RESUMED) , so could anyone explain it for me? Thanks in advance!

The blog post about repeatOnLifecycle talks about this: https://link.medium.com/qRILExz8lzb

tl/dr, launchWhen APIs would actually keep the flow active even when you weren't resumed, it would just pause actually delivering any results to your UI

[Ian Lake]

While repeatOnLifecycle actually cancels the work when you go below that minimum state, ensuring you aren't wasting resources in the background

And I heard launchWhenX is already deprecated in favor of repeatOnLifecycle

I wonder when repeatOnLifecycle will be deprecated…
