Please consider adding support for true background downloads across platforms.
Specifically:
• On Android: integrate with the Foreground Service API
• On iOS: use NSURLSession with a background configuration
This would allow downloads to continue even when the app is in the background or terminated. It’s especially valuable for content-focused apps that offer offline functionality, where keeping the app in the foreground just to download is a poor user experience.
Because background downloads are often long-running, existing solutions like TaskManager, BackgroundFetch, or BackgroundTask are not sufficient for this use case.
