Overview

Plugin.Maui.BackgroundTasks wraps Android JobScheduler and iOS BGTaskScheduler behind one MAUI registration so apps can schedule one-time and periodic work without owning two platform schedulers. It is the OS-facing counterpart to Plugin.Maui.JobQueue, which owns durable in-app work items.
