@triblondon raised an issue that has recently resurfaced in discussions with folks building progressive web apps on our team: it's unclear how this API can support leaving an app running in the foreground without the screen staying on an unlocked (in a mobile phone, e.g.). The recent RioRun app suffered from this issue: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/aug/06/rio-running-app-marathon-course-riorun It appears this was accounted for in the use-case doc: https://w3c-webmob.github.io/wake-lock-use-cases/#keeping-the-system-awake That said, it isn't clear (in the current API) how to support system-wakefulness while also allowing screen dimming. Enabling this seems crucial and a central design challenge for the current API. I don't see how a simple boolean can support both types of wake locking. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
