The background task (setting the wallpaper on the user's mobile device) works while debugging, but not in the installed app through .apk file
While I connect the mobile device to the laptop through USB and debug, the background task works.
but if I generate a .apk file and install it in the mobile device, the background task does not work.

I only care about simulated events. Do simulated events work?

[mdzakir]

Yes. Simulated events work. But I just wanted to know any particular reason why the background fetch event is not working in the app installed through the apk file? Is there any extra configuration needed for the apk or bundle file?

[christocracy]

If simulated events work, then you’ve done everything required. There’s nothing more to do.

the only thing you need is patience. Let it run for days. Periodically bring your app to foreground, like a normal user would, to feed the OS’s algorithm.

Everything is working fine. You just need to wait for several days.

Ok , I'll wait and see for a few days. Thanks
