Is there any possible way to somehow stop the plugin after eight hours or schedule it for specific period of time. Below is my ionic info,

global packages:

cordova (Cordova CLI) : 7.1.0

local packages:

@ionic/app-scripts : 3.0.0
Cordova Platforms  : android 6.3.0
Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.7.1

System:

Answer 1

One possible way of doing this is to use the background-mode plugin https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-background-mode

You can use this plugin and setInterval() together to run functions in the background of the app.
