So the limit is increased to 1 minute? Is it possible to run a continuous task in the background (like foreground task in Android)?

It is possible, but not by default. Your app must request additional permissions for indefinite background execution. It's quite difficult to get your app approved with said permission.

What permission is that?

Looks like it’s related to the stated use case of the app https://stackoverflow.com/a/11044108

I do not know. It says 'minutes' so I guess it's more than that.
