Hi everyone!
In a KMM project targeting Android, iOS, and Desktop, I’m looking for the best way to handle periodic background sync — kind of like how we can use WorkManager on Android. Any suggestions?

i would use expect/actual and implement it in each platform

WorkManager on android, BackgroundTasks on iOS and maybe cardiologist on desktop, yes you have to use expect actual

Thanks a lot for the suggestions 🙏🏻 @Kyrylo @אליהו הדס
+ I think that BackgroundTasks on IOS might not work as reliably due to iOS limitations on background execution ?

@Abdo on ios it's the native solution, it's the one that gives the best results, and we will have to deal with the limitations of each platform, it's not a choice that is offered to us
