Task Invoker - Run C# code while your mobile app is in the background.
Render pipeline compatibility
The Built-in Render Pipeline is Unity’s default render pipeline. It is a general-purpose render pipeline that has limited options for customization. The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that is quick and easy to customize, and lets you create optimized graphics across a wide range of platforms. The High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that lets you create cutting-edge, high-fidelity graphics on high-end platforms.

Description

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.

Technical details

iOS details

The iOS plugin uses beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler to run the background tasks. Because of this the tasks will expire usually after around a half minute of background run time. The Expired event in TaskInvoker class can be used to handle expired tasks.


Android details

On older Android versions the tasks run as long as the app is not killed by the user. But newer versions like Android 14 have more strict battery usage settings. By default apps are in balanced mode that limits the background time to around 10 minutes. The time may vary based on the device and usage.
