Just saw this on F-Droid (well actually on IzzySoft) and thought I’d pass it along. Haven’t tried it, please don’t kill the messenger, just sharing…

I tried this a couple of months ago. The app will not stay running in the background on Android.
Not running, not scanning.
The OS is probably optimizing it away, there might be a setting under battery management or app deep sleep that stops the OS from killing it, but it’s gonna use a bunch more battery, too. I think this is a simple enough thing that a little esp could do it instead of a whole phone app
I tweaked several settings in the OS.
Under Mobile Data for the app I allowed “background data” and “unrestricted mobile data usage”
And under battery “unrestricted” and “allow background usage”.
After all that I can’t keep the app running. 🤷
