+ * @name BackgroundFetch
+ * @description
+ * iOS Background Fetch Implementation. See: https://developer.apple.com/reference/uikit/uiapplication#1657399
+ * iOS Background Fetch is basically an API which wakes up your app about every 15 minutes (during the user's prime-time hours) and provides your app exactly 30s of background running-time. This plugin will execute your provided callbackFn whenever a background-fetch event occurs. There is no way to increase the rate which a fetch-event occurs and this plugin sets the rate to the most frequent possible value of UIApplicationBackgroundFetchIntervalMinimum -- iOS determines the rate automatically based upon device usage and time-of-day (ie: fetch-rate is about ~15min during prime-time hours; less frequently when the user is presumed to be sleeping, at 3am for example).
+ * For more detail, please see https://github.com/transistorsoft/cordova-plugin-background-fetch
+ *
+ * @usage
+ *
+ * ```typescript
+ * import { BackgroundFetch } from 'ionic-native';
+ *
+ *
+ * // When device is ready :
+ * platform.ready().then(() => {
+ *
+ *   let config = {
+ *     stopOnTerminate: false, // Set true to cease background-fetch from operating after user "closes" the app. Defaults to true.
+ *   };
+ *
+ *   BackgroundFetch.configure(() => {
+       console.log('[js] BackgroundFetch initiated');
+
+       // perform some ajax request to server here
+
+       You MUST called #finish so that native-side can signal completion of the background-thread to the os.
+       BackgroundFetch.finish();
+
+ *   }, (error) => {
+ *     console.log('- BackgroundFetch failed', error);
+ *   }, config);
+ *
+ * });
+ *
+ * // Start the background-fetch API. Your callbackFn provided to #configure will be executed each time a background-fetch event occurs. NOTE the #configure method automatically calls #start. You do not have to call this method after you #configure the plugin
+ * BackgroundFetch.start();
+ *
+ * // Stop the background-fetch API from firing fetch events. Your callbackFn provided to #configure will no longer be executed.
+ * BackgroundFetch.stop();
