React-native: Execute post request after 20 seconds, even if app goes on backgound
When app runs in foreground, i execute successfully a POST-request using setTimeout with 20 seconds like this:
setTimeout(function() {
/*POST request is done here*/
}, 20000);
Though, if in meanwhile user places the app on background, by pressing home button for example, then my post won't get fired after 20 seconds.
On Android though, i checked that if 20 seconds get passed, and then i open the app(make it be in foreground), then post is executed immediately. (Haven't tested on ios to see if same thing happens). So i have the following questions:
1) Same behavior is happening on IOS side too?
2) Should i expect exactly same behavior if timeout had 15 mins timer and not 20 seconds?
3) How can i solve this problem? I need to contact to an endpoint after some time, and can't do it while app is in background with setTimeout.
Using libraries like react-native-background-task do not help in this situation, as i need to execute code after exactly 20 secs(or 10 mins etc) and not some time in future like 15 mins+

Where is this max timeout limit specified? For example, an interval of 10 sec for 5 minutes is impossible?
