app working on background even if the app is closed

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

is this possible with corona sdk (not enterprise)?

local notifications works when apps are closed so i wonder if i use something like that.

i’m doing a code to check once a day to a remote database if there are new items.

if there are new items i will use local push notification to show the new items. but this only works if i open the app and close it again (to update the items database).

is there a way to do this with the app closed?

if not there are any suggestions to accomplish something like this? i was trying to make an automatic notifications for new items. i know a could go to onesignal and insert there the new items also and send to customers push notifications of the new items, but i was trying to make an “auto-solution”.

regards,

Carlos.

Corona SDK expects an app’s user interface to be active and in the foreground. Corona has not been designed or tested to run without the UI active. We do not support backgrounding nor will we.

If you are lucky enough to get something to work, great for you. Just be aware  that we make updates, Apple, Google and Windows makes updates, and future updates might break your success. That’s what “unsupported” means.
