Setting a timer for a long p

Answer 1

Josh Crowther Software Engineer at Google Said:

Using multi-step short duration setTimeouts doesn't actually fix the problem though. The Timer module still stays active and the app is still subject to the performance issues indicated in the warning. The issue here is that, we have use cases that require long timers, and react-native doesn't optimize for that use case.

So the net of all that is: This bug can't be fixed here we can only work around the error there are workarounds available (see Setting a timer for a long period of time, i.e. multiple minutes) that disable the warning. Doing the work to disable the warning in our code, doesn't help the issue (beyond disabling the warning), and adds additional SDK code/weight that is completely unnecessary.

I'd recommend chiming in on the issue mentioned above (i.e. facebook/react-native#12981) if you aren't comfortable w/ the workaround provided
