Android long timer warning (Setting a timer for a long period ...)

[RRMoelker]

🐛 Bug Report

Using the backend on an Android device results in a warning:

Setting a timer for a long period of time, i.e. multiple minutes, is a performance and correctness issue on Android as it keeps the timer module awake, and timers can only be called when the app is in the foreground. See https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/12981 for more info.
(Saw setInterval with duration 3600000ms)

To Reproduce

Using a clean react native project:

1. Install i18next, i18next-locize-backend and react-i18next.
2. Add the following to App.js:

import LocizeBackend from 'i18next-locize-backend';
new LocizeBackend(null, {});

Expected behavior

Expect no warning when using this library. By either:

1. not having a long timer, or
2. suppressing the warning if it can be ignored, or
3. having a option to disable the timer.

Your Environment

• runtime version:

• node v13.10.1
• react-native 0.61.5

• i18next version:

• i18next-locize-backend 4.1.2
• i18next 19.7.0

• os: Mac

Try to set reloadInterval to false, this should disable the setInterval => https://github.com/locize/i18next-locize-backend/blob/master/lib/index.js#L148

Yes that works!

And sorry for the bother. I seem to have opened the issue in the wrong repo.
