Yes, the entire RN community is working on this.

I’m working on it.

I suggest you avoid “new architecture” for now.

I’m going to be at least a week working on this

[Alper-Demir-Eng]

Any updates on new arch?

[mikehardy]

Looks like it's good to go in the latest release
https://github.com/transistorsoft/react-native-background-fetch/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#426--2024-11-29
340ea10

If you test it, I'd be surprised if it wasn't working. Chris hedged with the estimate of a week and got it almost same day it looks like, this issue might be close-worthy
