Task Invoker – Mobile Background Tasks

Features

• Runs C# code while the app is in the background
• Invokes a C# callback on a configurable interval
• Supports Android and iOS
• Runs on the Unity main thread so Unity components can be accessed as usual
• Includes utilities for wrapping UnityWebRequests with tasks so that they keep running even if the app is sent to the background

Compatibility

• Unity Editor 2017 or newer
• Android devices supported by Unity 2017 or newer
• iOS devices supported by Unity 2017 or newer

Additional Notes

• These tasks are meant for light background work, not for running the whole game in the background.
• Tasks will not run indefinitely: the tasks will stop running if the app is killed by the user or the OS. Please view the technical details below for more info.
