Poll for network availability when app is in the background

Open ghost opened this issue 10 years ago • 1 comments

There's a possible err condition where the user installs the app but first opens it when they have no signal.

In that case, their registration attempt will fail and no device_id will make it to our servers. Given there's no other content to bring them back to the app, we won't get another shot at re-registration.

So, possible solution:

  • monitor network connectivity while app is in the background
  • when connected, if no registration success, then attempt to re-register

This needs a chunk of research re. how cordova could notify the app on network conditions and is edge-case, so pending for now.

There's now other content in the app so we might be able to close this one.

Hopefully, releasing new versions could also encourage users to come back to the app...
