yes the same thing happens with a clean project
just a empty project with an actor and i simply run the control screensaver node in beginplay without the tick to disable screensaver
I want my app to always be running so that the screen does not dim if the user does not touch the screen after some time, but after i build on ios devices, the screen will always dim first, then the phone will goto lock screen

Is their anything happen on this Problem? Or does someone knows a Workaround (especally for IOS) because I have the Problem now to.
I’ve tried to use IOSAppDelegate class in C++ directly → Same Result, my App goes in Sleep-Mode
Also tried to use call the Delegate directly but even when my debug var tells me, that the idleTimerDisables == true the screen shuts down.

Please Help!
