    Description

      It would be useful to have a truly cross-platform API to acquire a wakelock. On mobile platforms, this would prevent the screen from turning off, on desktop platforms it could be used to inhibit screen-savers and standby.

      Implementation wise, this could map to setting FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON on android/view/Window on Android and setting the idle timer to false on iOs. Linux features systemd inhibitor locks, which might be useful.
