i am writing an app in React-native that gets triggered every 30 min from a node.js backend service.
The app then needs to execute some task, i am using WebView to execute the Task. (since there are some dependencies that can't be used in React-Native but in the Browser)
Can i use something like a Background worker to trigger the WebView and execute my Task?
How do i access the WebView when the App is in the Background ?
Any guidance in the right direction or alternatives are highly appreciated.

We have a React Native app and we are logging to App Insights using the "applicationinsights-react-native package", this all works fine in a sense, but we are trying to start using the monitoring side of things which uses a User ID. Now I'm pretty sure that whatever the User ID that the (app insights) package is using for a user ID won't cause too many problems if we kept it, but it won't be right.
The ApplicationInsights class has a setAuthenticatedUserContext method, however the comments seem to refer to cookies suggesting it's a React package re-purposed and this GitHub post https://github.com/microsoft/appcenter-sdk-react-native/issues/503 suggests we can't use it, however the response is for the React Natve AppCenter package which we are not using. We are using App Insights direct.
So I was wondering if there was a way to set our user_Id/User context if we are using App Insights directly from a React Native app?
It looks like setAuthenticatedUserContext does work if you talk to App Insights directly and not theough Appcenter, it's possible that it works through Appcenter now as well, I have not tested so I am not sure.
If you want to check that this ends up as on the App Insighst side, it appears as a property called user_AuthenticatedId.
I wanted to build an app which can send notifications to the user if he uses a particular app for more than 15 minutes...for this I need to trace which app the user is using even when my react native app is not being used(i.e. it is present in the background). Is there any react native library which can help me to know the app which the user is using in the present?
There's no way to do this. Your app would have to be running in the background at all times, and even then the OS would have to support such a feature.
I want to share URLs from the browser to my React Native app and open them in the app, how can I do that?
This is called deep-linking, that your app launches and even does some actions depending on the called URL of your app. Many apps use it that's how you probably know it.
You can read about this and implement it.
Here is some articles and documentation about it:

Good Day Everyone, I have an app idea I'll soon be implementing with react native, it's kinda a calling app but i want to know if it's possible to place a call directly from my app without launching the native phone/dialer app...I want to know if it's possible with any programming language, framework, or library, Even tho it's react I'll be using. Thanks..
Here is a library for the purpose to bypass native dialer app
react-native-phone-call
My React-Native App has a headlessTask that is triggered when device receives an SMS. I want my app to open a screen when the SMS is received, even when app is not running.
I'm familiar with react-navigation, but since a headlessTask is not a component, I can't even send the navigation prop.
What I have tried:
Headless Task use inside component with React Native
the solution above only works if application is open.
P.S. In Native Android, I'm able to achieve this by starting the Activity inside the broadcast receiver.
You can use deep linking.
In your headless task use something like this:
Linking.openURL('example://sms-received/sms-data')
Also you should handle deep links in your app.
