Ionic app crashes on iOS 12.2 because of '_alwaysRunsAtForegroundPriority'

Question

On iOS 12.2 my app is terminated just after startup, with this message in xcode:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception \'NSUnknownKeyException\', rea

Answer 1

In the plugin there's a 'setValue' towards the bottom that nukes the app. Got a build going for 12.2. Try

ionic cordova plugin add https://github.com/iowayankee/cordova-plugin-background-mode.git

package.json

    "cordova-plugin-background-mode": "git+https://github.com/iowayankee/cordova-plugin-background-mode.git",

config.xml

Hopefully helps someone at least get the build going
