Question 35153 in React native Question posted in
The official React Native documentation can be found here.

Can you create tasks in the Windows Task Scheduler from a react native desktop app (or any other js framework)

I am trying to find a way to create a desktop application where I can setup Tasks to run that will turn on my pc and run a c# app / shell script that will send an api request with a video file and a text file.

    If you use nodejs, you can execute commands in the terminal with the exec function from the child_process module, then use the schtasks command to schedule tasks.

    I am unsure about turn on PC part.

    You could write a Windows Service worker that runs in the backend, then interact with it vai a local datasource (like a Database or Text file) from your react native desktop app.

    In the .Net world you could also host a HangFire web site or something like it. To expose API endpoints for your application to fire off jobs or series of jobs.

    Or:
    You should be able to call a PowerShell script.
