I have run dart format . and flutter analyze, and updated the main.dart file accordingly.

Hello @burhanaksendir , this is an interesting change, so looks like workmanager library added functionality to support ios background tasks.

Though, I do not prefer using the git version of the library, is there a reason this hasn't been released as a new version (eg 0.5.3 or 0.6.0)? If there is none, can we push them to release a new version?

Hello @Amjad50,
the reason I am using the git version is because it supports periodic tasks for iOS. In the normal version, only the registerOneOffTask feature is available for iOS. However, with this git version, we can run background tasks periodically on iOS just like we do on Android.

I understand the benefit and I like it.

My question was "is there a reason this hasn't been released as a new version (eg 0.5.3 or 0.6.0)? If there is none, can we push them to release a new version?"

But, I guess we can merge this now, and change the version once they release it.

Yes, we can request a new version to be released. I don't know why a new version hasn't been released, but you can check the commit details here. Unfortunately, I could only run the periodic task for iOS with this ref.
