Background fetch, processing tasks, background location, headless JS, battery optimization - Expo and bare React Native.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# React Native Background Tasks > **Quick Guide:** Background tasks in React Native are heavily constrained by OS power management. Use `expo-background-task` (Expo) or `react-native-background-fetch` (bare RN) for periodic fetch. Use `expo-location` for background location tracking. iOS gives ~30s for refresh tasks (BGAppRefreshTask) and several minutes for processing tasks (BGProcessingTask). Android enforces 15-minute minimum intervals via WorkManager and restricts execution in Doze mode. Always call `finish()` or return a result when done -- the OS will terminate tasks that exceed their time budget. --- <critical_requirements> ## CRITICAL: Before Using This Skill **(You MUST define tasks in the top-level scope (global) -- tasks defined inside React components or lifecycle methods will NOT be registered when the app starts from the background)** **(You MUST call `finish(taskId)` or return a `BackgroundTaskResult` when task execution completes -- failing to signal completion causes the OS to penalize or kill your app)** …

How to install
mdr add agents-inc/skills/mobile-background-tasks@sha256:f699c4a2cd145d69The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.afd0e14, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
