Support for `BGContinuedProcessingTask`

[cyanic-selkie]

Hi,

iOS 26 is introducing BGContinuedProcessingTask which is proper support for long running background tasks (e.g., ML inference). It's still beta, but should be released soon. Will the support be added to this library?

Yes - will add.
Can you share a flutter native usecase though? What is the ML landscape looking like for dart?

Well I'm new to dart and flutter, so I don't know how helpful I can be here.

However, from what I've seen, the ML ecosystem is abysmal for dart at the moment. I haven't found a single onnxruntime library that actually worked (I had to compile it myself and use it through a rust library). I wasn't even able to find an ExecuTorch library and the TFLite libraries seem very outdated.

All in all, it's in a bad state.

As for the use case, I simply wanted to do some ML inference on a series of images taken with a camera that starts in the foreground and moves to the background if needed due to how long it takes.
