Kodular app "restarts" itself after so long in the background

Please let me know if you know the solution to that problem with Android 9?

Backgroud Activity

There are many misconceptions about the term “background”. Background as mostly used means only that the app is not visible (eg after pressing the home button or after time-out / in sleep mode), but not closed. “Background tasks / services” means that an app can also execute somthing if the app is closed. That’s is indeed not possible with AI2 & its clones (Kodular, Thunkable, …).

You can try TaifunBatteryOptimization extension:

Extension to request IGNORE BATTERY OPTIMIZATIONS. Remember: this will not help to run your app in the background!

Version 2 of the extension can now be found here App Inventor Extensions: Ignore Battery Optimization | Pura Vida Apps there is method [request] which opens the following dialog for the user [dialog] Note: you have to build the app else this will not work! Version 2 offers additionally method [isIgnoring] to check, if app is ignoring Battery Optimization. Warning: Google Play might reject your app if you are using this extension! see also Extension to request IGNORE BATTERY OPTIMIZATIO…
