Hey Pedro

Indeed, the plugin does not check online/offline while being in the background. As far as I know, on Android there is no checking while being in the background. For ios, and other platforms I cannot answer the question.

Kind regards Pieter

For ios, and other platforms I cannot answer the question.

iOS webviews don't execute javascript while the app is in the background, so processing background tasks within the webview is generally is difficult if not impossible. For example, the native code might send the event to javascript, but your app won't be able to respond to it until the app comes back into the foreground.

Apple generally discourages apps running code in the background except for very specific scenarios.
